Programmes
This service provides clients with support from people who have lived experience of mental illness or addiction (peers). The support is individualised to each person’s needs and helps them to understand and implement their own recovery and to strengthen their involvement in the wider community. Our peer support services will encourages clients to take responsibility for their own recovery. We define recovery as living the life you want, in the presence or absence of mental illness. We see no reason why mental illness should mean isolation from the rest of the world. The experience of mental illness can often leave us focusing on weaknesses or problems. A PSW can help their clients shift the focus to their strengths, their talents and the skills they’ve learned in their life, including what they’ve learned from experiencing mental illness itself. Our clients actively promote their wellness by connecting or reconnecting with their whānau/family and friends, jobs, home and community. We all have talents, skills and aspirations that are the foundation for recovery. A peer support worker can support their client to make positive changes in their life by helping them to: 1. Identify strengths and desires 2. Set goals 3. Plan the necessary steps to achieve them.
