The Collaborative Recovery Model, developed by the University of Wollongong Illawarra Institute for Mental Health, is a way of working that is consistent with the values of the recovery movement, it uses practices supported by evidence that prove the intervention assists people with enduring mental illness. It recognizes that recovery is a staged individual process. The model has four components;
- Change Enhancement
- Collaborative Strengths and Values Identification
- Collaborative Visioning and Goal Striving
- Collaborative Action and Monitoring
The CRM has evolved to include Life JET. Life Jet is a staged life planning process which incorporates; values and strengths clarification, visioning , goal setting and action planning. The Life Jet tools consist of the Camera, Compass and Map. “The Camera” will bring into focus your important values and strengths, “The Compass” will identify a destination in terms of a life vision and goals and will track progress along valued directions and “The Map” is the action plan, the next step in the journey.
