Principles Underlying
the Birch Recovery Philosophy
In everything we do, we intend
To place the individual at the center of the treatment and recovery process,
forming an equal partnership that will enable men and women with serious and persistent mental illnesses to:
* Realize their worth and dignity as individuals.
* Participate in developing and directing their recovery process.
* Recognize and build upon their strengths and abilities.
* Develop self-awareness and personal insight.
* Articulate and pursue their dreams.
* Make their own choices and decisions, learning from their experiences.
* Live, socialize and work successfully in the community.
RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT
Some time ago, our founder set out a group of “intentions” that guide every decision we make and every
interaction we have with our members. We live by these intentions every day. They are the backbone of our commitment to the recovery process:
In everything we do, we inten
* To be kind.
* To inspire hope.
* To respect and befriend men and women overwhelmed by life.
* To bring a measure of joy into every life we touch.
* To do no harm.
* To offer ourselves without discrimination.
* To serve with patience, persistence and forgiveness, not regarding symptoms of illness as evidence of failure.
* To create an environment in which dreams are born, encouraged and pursued.
* To be a beginning, not an end.
