This module facilitates students to develop the professional knowledge, skills and competencies to work collaboratively with people who are experiencing serious mental health issues. Students are supported to develop knowledge and competency to work collaboratively to address the recovery, social inclusion and active citizenship needs of mental health service users and their families across the care spectrum. The module addresses the ideologies of recovery, social inclusiveness and active citizenship as core components of psychiatric nursing practice and service delivery. Underpinned by the CHIME conceptual framework for personal recovery in mental health the module content provides a structured exploration of the nature of recovery-focused relationships, concepts of power relations and empowerment and recognises the value and importance of lived experience. Students are facilitated to explore the nature of their relationships with mental health service users and their families. The concepts of social exclusion and inclusion, recovery and active citizenship are examined within the context of mental health services and nursing practice. Students are facilitated to explore and develop understanding of how existing services and practices may work to either reinforce and or reproduce exclusion and stigma, or promote social inclusion and recovery. Concepts including self-awareness, self-management, promoting wellness and relapse prevention are also examined. Skills development for recovery-oriented practice are integral to the module and are supported through an active, reflective and collaborative process.
