1. Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust ‘ Recovery is a deeply personal, unique process of changing one’s attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills and roles. It is a way of living a satisfying, hopeful and contributing life, even with the limitations caused by illness. Recovery involves the development of new meaning and purpose in one’s life as one grows beyond the catastrophic effects of mental illness...’ (Antony 1993). Recovery

3. Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Chris Munt “As much as I think Recovery is helped by legislation and policy and protocols and research I think ultimately recovery is about mindset because I wasn’t trapped so much by the actual limits that that diagnosis placed on me or the limits that any diagnosis places on an individual. I was more preoccupied by the perceived limits of that condition and I think that that may be the experience of many other people”. HPFT Recovery DVD 2009
