Hope: the critical factor in recovery.
1. Psychiatric rehabilitation focuses on improving a person's knowledge and skills to maximize levels of functioning and developing resources within the community to support successful living. 2. The recovery process is a lifelong process of defining new possibilities and finding new meaning and purpose in life. By accepting the limitations of what they cannot do, clients begin to discover what they are able to do and to look forward to a new beginning. 3. Facilitating success, connecting to successful role models, managing the illness, and educating clients and the community are all identified as areas that enhance hope for clients.
