This implementation toolkit for the Guidelines for Recovery-Oriented Practice is the result of a Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) initiative, supported through a partnership with Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences (Ontario Shores).
This toolkit was created to help those who provide mental health and substance use services and supports adopt the Guidelines into their unique workplace contexts and practices. It gives practical examples of how the core recovery principles show up in organizations through policies, programs, and practices.
This toolkit can be used by:
• Senior executives (e.g., for scope of governance)
• Practitioners and clinicians (e.g., for client- and family-centred care, professional development)
• People with lived or living experience of mental health problems or illnesses and/or substance use and their families (e.g., for co-production, peer support, advocacy)
• Educators (e.g., for training, skills development, evaluation)
• Systems leaders (e.g., for system transformation, system partnerships)
• Managers (e.g., for leading practices, performance coaching)
• Decision makers (e.g., for resource allocation, funding)
