Recovery Star Training for Staffordshire Mind

A very succseful Recovery Star training programme was delivered to the staff and volunteers of Mid Staffordshire Mind on the 12th May 2011.
The group were really engaging and apprecited the style and content oif the course. The key learning appeared to be developing their confidence in working with clients and their Star, whilst understanding the pressures on themselves and their organisation to collect data required by theiur commissioners and funding agencies. Keeping the Star with the client is vital and this was a key point to the group undertadning and working with the Star.

As with all organisations working with and promoting the Recovery Star they are caught in the middle. How do we keep the Star client centred but also enable the date created to help us and our funders?
The key is education and confidence. If a client moves back down their 'Ladder of Change' this could appear a negative to the organisation or their funders. It could be the opposite! The client has recognised the reality of their situation and is now able to make strong proactive changes to move forwards effectively and generate long term changes.

Many thanks to Staffordshire Mind for making me so welcome, and being so appreciative of the training.
