"The goal of FloridaSDC is to respect and promote
self-determination, recovery and full community inclusion for people
who have been diagnosed with a mental illness and who depend on
government subsidized mental wellness services."
"In its simplest form recovery can be defined as improving,
mending, healing and renewal. Recovery is about developing
individual’s strengths and assets and giving individual’s the room,
support and confidence to do so in the process. Recovery is about
overcoming the adverse effects of mental illness that may have
hampered the ability to fulfill personal life goals."
"The ultimate goal of the FloridaSDC program is to give
participants the opportunity to design and travel a personalized
road to recovery from the adverse effects of mental illness to that
they can return to a productive lifestyle."
"The experience of mental illness is
traumatic in and of itself, and often---and unfortunately---the
treatment for mental illness can also be traumatic."
"Trauma informed care recognizes
"...the survivor’s need to be respected, informed, connected, and
hopeful regarding their own recovery; the interrelation between
trauma and symptoms of trauma e.g. substance abuse, eating
disorders, depression, anxiety, etc.; and the need to work in a
collaborative way with survivors and also with family and friends
of the survivor and with other human services agencies in a manner
that will empower survivors and consumers."
