Working Toward a Recovery-focused System

Working toward a recovery-focused system is a complex undertaking. It involves coordinated action by governments at all levels,and at each level there are multiple ministries,agencies or departments,each usually having only minimal awareness of what the others are doing. It involves tens of thousands of providers working both inside and outside the formal mental health care system,some paid within the public system and others not,as well as hundreds of thousands of unpaid caregivers,using whatever resources they can find to help their friends and loved ones,volunteering their time and energy when they can.
