Strengths-Based: We focus on valuing and building on the multiple capacities, resiliencies, talents, abilities, and uniqueness of individuals. By building on these strengths, we leave the I can't mentality behind and engage in new life roles ( e.g., partner, caregiver, friend, student or employee ). Peer Support: We provide mutual support including the sharing of experiential knowledge and skills and social learning. We encourage and engage other consumers and family members in recovery and provide each other with a sense of belonging, supportive relationships, valued roles, and community. Collaboration: We collaborate with consumers, their families, mental health providers and the community as a whole to transform the mental health system to a wellness, recovery and resiliency model. Lived experience: We know each person is an expert on him or herself and we know from our full range of lived experiences what works because WE ARE THE EVIDENCE!
