Recovery means living a satisfying, hopeful, and meaningful life, even when there may be ongoing limitations related to mental health problems and illnesses. It starts with the fundamental belief that not only is recovery possible, but it should also be expected regardless of diagnosis or situation.

Regardless of where you find yourself on the Mental Health Continuum (even in the red), remember that recovery is ALWAYS possible. It is a process or journey of healing, and recovery is the goal. This means that a person living with a mental health problem or illness can recover and live mostly in the green.
