Recovery Model

"Nothing about us without us!"

The Recovery Model was developed to promote a person-centered approach to mental health care that emphasizes recovery, strengths, and individuals goals. Historically, mental health treatment has often focused primarily on symptoms and diagnoses. The Recovery Model expands this approach by emphasizing strengths, resilience, and recovery. The Recovery Model emphasizes each individual's strengths, resilience, and capacity to manage mental health challenges while pursuing personal recovery goals. The Recovery Model aligns with Aliento's approach to training, research, and community engagement. Aliento's three main components of training and education, research, and community outreach all incorporate the underlying principles of the Recovery Model. Through a strength-based framework, the program prepares students to apply recovery-oriented principles that support effective mental health care for individuals, families, and communities. Aliento prepares future mental health professionals to build collaborative therapeutic relationships while contributing to the development of recovery-oriented clinical practice and research. Additionally, the program collaborates with community partners to strengthen training, research, and clinical services consistent with the principles of the Recovery Model.
