Recovery Project

Access Adhar Project's Recovery Project

We understand that people who are struggling with their mental health problems have experienced many difficulties on their journey to recovery. This project therefore emphasises the process of learning, engaging, taking action and engaging with others. It is about having positive thinking and actions, and developing participants sense of self-value and empowerment.

Some of the activities that are offered in this project are 1-2-1 sessions, training workshops and community visits. When the client has completed the programme, they will be discharged and referred to the 'Peer Support Network', which will provide self-help for continued support during their recovery.

The Recovery Project is broken down into four sub-sections;

Understanding your mental health

Adhar empowers our clients to learn more about their own mental health problems, by exploring their thoughts and feelings, and addressing some of the potential side effects of medication. We aim to give clients a sense of optimism and self-worth.

Taking care of you

The main focus of this project is to help improve each clients self-care, by encouraging them to take part in new things, looking into previous interests and doing meaningful activities. We have also developed workshops to aid clients with managing their wellbeing, to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Taking positive action

We help our clients to identify their goals in life and take positive action to achieve them, by completing small tasks to make it more achievable from action plans that are regularly reviewed.

Meaningful contacts

To help the clients wellbeing, we aid them to build and maintain meaningful relationships with others, helping them to build their peer support network.

The service can be accessed through six steps;

- Referral: The referral might come from a social worker, GP, psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse, signposting from another organisation or by self-referral.

- Intake Assessment: This will allow the client to explore and communicate their problems and see if this project is right for them, if not othe options will be explored.

- Attending Training: This will have a strong focus on the client learning and engaging with the project and taking positive action to help themself.

- Monitoring: We will monitor our clients to check their improvement, such as their self-confidence, concentration, positive thinking, management of their symptoms, their engagement and how they access local community services.

- Review: Once the project is complete, we work closely with the client to appraise all improvements made and explore any futher, unmet needs that they may have, and creating a recovery plan to address these.

- Exit: We support the client in developing their 'Peer Support Network' to help benefit them going forward, or see whether further support is needed for the client from Adhar's sercices.
