symptoms of depression and anxiety. For this, it has been recommended that the general
practitioner need to provide evidence based care by focusing over their issues.

It depicts effective sustaining and creating a service culture of hope which is important to
make sure that the environment of organisation tends to motivate and support the recovery
efforts of people. In this, every individual need to participate in order to create and maintain the

professionals actively uphold effective culture by using optimistic language and supporting
people. They also tend to understand and work in order to create the environment, practices and
conditions in order to support the recovery efforts.

are applicable to the legal status of people as in this way, suitable practices should be directed for

As a health care practitioner, I need to effectively develop the culture of hope and also
tends to sustain in order to create effective services that leads to develop hope among several
individuals in order to motivate and support towards the recovery efforts of an individual. In this
context, I should influence individuals in order to maintain and create organisational culture that
leads to develop their behaviour and attitudes (Eaves and et. al., 2020). As per this, the mental
health people need to uphold effective culture by effectively optimising the language and support
people. I need to develop effective environment in order to support suitable practices and
conditions by supporting the recovery efforts.
Apart from this, I also need to promote autonomy and self-determination among the
individuals by making them aware regarding their human rights by access towards the mental
health services which is being influenced by the mental health and other laws. In this, I also need
to effectively apply the legal status of individuals as in an effective manner by directing them
towards the suitable facilitation for their own decision making for the suitable areas of
development (Fleury, Sabetti and Bamvita, 2019). In this context, I as a mental health
professional needs to provide suitable information in order to support suitable individuals to
make their decisions effective regarding the mental health care.
Along with this, I need to effectively collaborate with the suitable partnership and also
undertake meaningful involvement of people in order to have their overall growth by supporting
the recovery efforts. For this, I need to develop effective networks undertaking suitable
information in terms of accessing the prominent sources which is required by other people.
