According to the National Framework for Recovery-Orientated Mental Health Services (Commonwealth of Australia, 2013, p.7), “Bringing lived experience together with the expertise, knowledge and skills of mental health practitioners offers opportunities for profound cultural change in the way it challenges traditional notions of professional power and expertise”. With this in mind, your essay will address the following:

· Review the literature on principles of recovery-oriented mental health practices/services in Australia. With this, explore the change from traditional power-based organisational priorities to the contemporary lived experience, recovery-orientated framework;

· Make recommendations (with references to the literature) as to how recovery-orientated principles can be synthesised into everyday mental health service provision;

· Include in your recommendations (with references to the literature) how you can embed the recovery-orientated principles detailed in the National Framework for Recovery-Orientated Mental Health Services within your own mental health nursing practices.

Your assessment is to be in essay structure (introduction, body, and conclusion). Headings may be used to break-up key discussion areas. Reference: Commonwealth of Australia. (2013).National Framework for Recovery-Orientated Mental Health Services. Canberra: Commonwealth of Australia.
