I think advancing the idea of fit of need to recovery is to include more peer and community development activities into the “future” of recovery practices..
Jim Mandiberg of the Silberman school of social work, Hunter College CUNY does some interesting conceptualizing and I think frames/bridges somewhat the system of care beyond services to what was conceptualized in CMHA’s A Framework For Support http://www.cmhaff.ca/framework-support
into more practical steps for many people and their supporters.
In his slide presentation below (see file) he address's some of the factors listed below with the strategy of Community Economic Development:
How do excluded people gain power, influence, and choices
about who they want to be, and where they want to be?
The importance of market forces in bringing about change
rather than exclusively relying on laws, policies, and services.
Enticing but unhelpful offers by traditional mental health
services that keep people dependent.
Teams taking an approach of looking at client access to both the formal and informal economy where interests and skills are developed in an entrepreneurial fashion could be well linked to many client's personal recovery goals.
Personally I see potential in through the work I have been doing with several partner groups on a performance/coffee house known as The Creative Cafe, here in Ottawa (see file below). Can't say a sharp business plan is in play, but rich in value as a community development vehicle that supports people on skills and being in the community.
