6. Recovery - redefinitions A redefinition of the purpose of services from reducing symptoms to rebuilding lives. Everything that we do must be judged in terms of the extent to which it helps people in their recovery journey. A change in the role of mental health professionals and professional expertise, moving from being ‘on top’ to being ‘on tap’: not defining problems and prescribing treatments, but rather making their expertise and understandings available to those who may find them useful. 6

7. Recovery College or Recovery Education Centre Embodies transformations needed Central to driving recovery-focused organisational change. 7

8. Use An educational paradigm to complement traditional treatment approaches (Ashcraft & Anthony, 2005). 8

9. Lived experience matters A recognition of the equal importance of both ‘professional expertise’ and ‘lived experience’ and a breaking down of the barriers that divide ‘them’ from ‘us’. This must be reflected in a different kind of workforce (one that includes peer workers), and different working practices founded on co- production and shared decision making at all levels. 9

10. And creates A different relationship between services and the communities that they serve. Enabling both individuals and communities to recognise their own resources and resourcefulness and recreating communities that can accommodate human distress. 10
