1st Edition
by Sue Parkinson (Editor)
Discovery Through Activity provides a compendium of ideas, resources and practice evaluations that will inspire practitioners to be even more imaginative, and to customise their own Recovery Through Activity programmes to meet the specific needs of participants.
The original Recovery Through Activity handbook offers a flexible programme that is widely used in adult mental health settings. This accompanying and complementary resource shows how the intervention has been extended, adapted, and applied service-wide. The resource showcases the work of a growing community of practitioners who have successfully facilitated Recovery Through Activity programmes to provide a forum for people to reflect on their occupational lives and discuss and practise lifestyle choices to improve their health and wellbeing.
It includes:
- An extended range of flexible ideas and resources to meet the needs of participants in Recovery through Activity sessions
- Examples of how to apply Recovery Through Activity in one-to-one sessions and virtual groups
- Encouragement to adopt Recovery Through Activity across your services with confidence
With contributions illustrating the effective application of Recovery Through Activity in a range of settings and situations, this is a valuable resource for occupational therapists and other practitioners in mental health settings.
