Mental health recovery
Mental health recovery is very vaguely understood. This is due to the fact that the
different signs and symptoms of recovery shown by people having mental disorders can be
different in each case. Different people follow different paths of recovery (McGorry, 2014).
Therapeutics as well as personal recovery methods containing the uniting factors should be used
in combination o provide appropriate care to the patient and bring about better recovery. This
essay will be discussing the recovery pathway of the client Jeremy Oxley, who was a gifted
musician and was the founder of the band the sunny boys. This essay will also describe about the
six principles of recovery that Jeremy have supposedly to have followed (Williams et al., 2012).

The recovery principle frame work provides with the idea of recovery and the lived
experience. It throws light upon the practice domains and the key principles that a health care
professional should follow to bring about the desired outcomes in the patients.
The framework
Recovery : the concept
It supports a person’s desire or potential or a recovery. Recovery is nothing but the
process of changing one’s attitude, feeling, goals, roles and skills. The recovery oriented
approaches mainly focuses on the on the needs of people by stepping out from their own field of
convenience and providing appropriate care to the patient. In the case of Jeremy Oxley, the
recovery of Jeremy was followed by his return to normal life style (McGorry, 2014).
Each and every person should try to bring his or her own recovery; a recovery has to be
self directed. From the video it was evident that Jeremy had the potential to his own recovery.
Although Jeremy’s wife played a big role in the recovery of Jeremy, he himself also took certain
initiatives like he tried to recreate his band in the name of sunny boys, which became a success
(Williams et al., 2012).
A recovery oriented mental health practice refers to the primary health practice that is for
the well being of a patient (Shanks et al., 2013). This type of a practice would help a person to
take up his own recovery regimen. A person should be able to take his own control of life by
adhering to the prescribed medications and therapies. In case of Jeremy Oxley, Griffiths,
Jeremy’s wife along with his doctors struggled for 9 months to find the right methods to control
the health issues of Jeremy (McGorry, 2014). They were finally successful in bringing out
Jeremy from the darkness of Schizophrenia through medications and psychosocial support.
