Discovery through activity : ideas and resources for applying recovery through activity in practice

Discovery Through Activity provides a compendium of ideas, resources and practice evaluations that will inspire practitioners to be even more imaginative and to customise their own Recovery Through Activity programmes to meet the specifi c needs of participants. The original Recovery Through Activity handbook offers a flexible programme that is widely used in adult mental health settings.

This accompanying and complementary resource shows how the intervention has been extended, adapted and applied service-wide.

The resource showcases the work of a growing community of practitioners who have successfully facilitated Recovery Through Activity programmes to provide a forum for people to refl ect on their occupational lives and discuss and practise lifestyle choices that will enable them to improve their health and wellbeing. It includes:• an extended range of flexible ideas and resources to meet the needs of participants in Recovery Through Activity sessions• examples of how to apply Recovery Through Activity in one- to- one sessions and virtual groups• encouragement to adopt Recovery Through Activity across your services with confidence. With contributions illustrating the effective application of Recovery Through Activity in a range of settings and situations, this is a valuable resource for occupational therapists and other practitioners in mental health settings.
