“Recovery is living, not existing” Karen Taylor, UK

Welcome to The International Centre for Recovery Action (ICRA Whole Life) website.

ICRA Whole Life promotes recovery for people with mental health problems and issues.

Recovery is about people being able to take up their lives again.

It is important for individuals to be supported in their “recovery journeys” by effective and committed mental health workers, family members, friends, local communities and services.

The challenge is to ensure that the opportunity to benefit from recovery practice is available to all.

Most service users, family members, workers, managers and policy makers agree there is a need to change the current system in order to be more recovery oriented.

To accomplish this we have set up this website to enable recovery practitioners to share their commitment, knowledge, and experience of good practice, with each other and the wider community.

This site will connect recovery communities (service users, family members, workers, managers and policy makers) with Recovery Community Development Sites, Faculty Members and Members worldwide as learning collaborators by providing meaningful:

• Information
• Training/Education
• Consultancy
• Practice development
• Research
