Overarching Principles
The Partners in Recovery Network believe that recovery from mental illness is an outcome we can achieve by harnessing the wisdom of service recipients and their families with the knowledge of skilled and caring professionals. We believe that everyone has intrinsic strengths that can be used to develop an individualized recovery plan. Partners in Recovery staff model and practice recovery principles in all activities including hope, empowerment, encouragement, support, self determination, and connection to the community. Staff serves as positive role models demonstrating professional and caring attitudes and behaviors toward the individuals we serve, their families, co-workers and guests. Staff contributes to effective teamwork by combining skills and energies in a coordinated effort with individuals we serve, their families, supervisors, co-workers and outside agencies.
