Advocacy
NAMI NH created Hope and Help for People with Mental Illness to help provide information about recovery strategies and coping skills. Support and education resources are included, as well as information on supported employment and selecting a mental health professional.
An excerpt from Hope and Help:
HOPE is a prerequisite to recovery. Getting better can only happen if you believe deep down that it’s possible…
SETBACKS are part of recovery… The trick is to think of setbacks as learning experiences, not defeats.
SUPPORT is essential in mutual supportive relationships with people who are committed to helping you recover...
EDUCATION is vital... learn everything you can about your illness, the treatments and medicines you are receiving, and what alternatives are available.
SELF-ADVOCACY… means knowing how to get what you need.
COLLABORATIVE TREATMENT is the only kind of mental health care that can support recovery…
