There are six core principles that guide our recovery-oriented practice. These include:

• supporting personal recovery and promoting wellbeing

• taking a person-centred approach to the development of clients’ support plans

• delivering services informed by evidence and consistent with a social model of health

• building trusting relationships

• working in partnership and collaborating with other services.

Deep Seas' approach to recovery-oriented practice is also guided by our recognition that supporting recovery includes supporting a person to realise their human rights.
