Individuals diagnosed with serious physical and mental illness
and chronic pain, and those who treat them, often measure success by how well
they "recover" or return to a prior state of health. The Procovery
program is an approach to
illness based on the understanding that sometimes healing has little to do with
health; sometimes recovery in the traditional sense is not an option; and often
we need to rewrite the scripts of our lives and reach forward to the largely
unknown rather than backward to the familiar.
The Procovery program builds upon the idea that each person's path is
unique, that idiosyncrasies are the soul and not the bane of healing, and that
inflexible treatment protocols and expectations for pain and illness often
condemn and imprison rather than heal.
The Procovery program is an approach that embodies a set of specific healing
strategies that can be applied by any individual—staff, family member, friend,
or consumer—in any health care model or system, for any serious physical or
mental illness, or chronic pain, today.
Please take a moment to learn about the Procovery Program and see how it might apply to your own life.
We also invite you to become part of our community
and help us help others.
