How We Work
Strengths Based Approach
Service delivery is based on a Recovery/Strengths approach where:
- The service user owns their recovery process
- Hope is encouraged, enhanced and/or maintained
- The focus is on enhancing the strengths, abilities and resiliency of an individual
- All people are treated as equals with the capacity to learn, change, make life decisions and choices, and take action to create life change – no matter how severe their symptoms
- A holistic view is applied
- Access to resources, opportunities and meaningful relationships is encouraged
- The best clinical treatment is applied
- Family involvement is encouraged.
Recovery
A journey of recovery where an individual leads their own unique process of moving forwards
Comcare believes that:
- Everyone has strengths and capacities
- All people have the ability to change given the right conditions and resources
- People can change and grow their strengths and abilities
- People are their own experts
- A problem is the problem, the person is not the problem
- Problems can block people from noticing and appreciating their strengths and finding their own solutions
- Building open and honest relationships promotes growth
- The power for change is within us all.
