What is the Collaborative Recovery Model?

The Collaborative Recovery Model (CRM) is a model designed to assist mental health clinicians and support workers working in community mental health contexts, particularly with people who have severe and enduring mental illness.
The CRM has been designed to have the following advantages:

• Generic skills that can be used flexibly
• Approaches that are relevant across case management and psychosocial rehabilitation contexts
• Emphasis on issues of autonomy, hope, and individual experience central to the recovery movement within mental health
• Skills based components than have an evidence base
• An emphasis on measurement, consistent with the need for mental health services to generate evidence.
