What is the theory behind this Mental health recovery plan worksheet?
A mental health recovery plan, also known as the wellness recovery plan, is a structural approach towards dealing with your mental distress in the most effective way possible. Getting to know the signs and symptoms in a step by step organized manner transforms an overwhelming situation into something that can be controlled.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet is helpful for the clients who have successfully terminated their therapy sessions and now they want a daily reminder or a plan to work on their mental health with the help of the strategies they learned in the therapy. This can become a practical guide to refer to daily in times of distress.
How to use this worksheet?
In the table below, write about the people, things and situations that can work as your support system. Then write your baseline healthy behaviors as well as list your triggering situations, people and places. The action plan requires you to deal with the triggers and utilize your support system. The post action plan helps you to maintain those healthy behaviors and activities after the triggers are gone and dealt with.
