The Recovery Star: User Guide - 2nd Edition
The second edition has been improved to bring in stronger concepts around spirituality, community support and communications in order to improve its cultural competency. We have also changed some of the language to make it even more client-focused and improved the description of the ladder of change. Illustrations to support understanding of the five journey stages and ten dimensions have been commissioned and produced as posters and postcards to complement the service user guide. These facilitate use of the model where there may be language barriers. At the same time, the illustrations provide an additional means for clients to access and engage with the Recovery Star tool in general.
This includes:
- An introduction to the Recovery Star for service users and workers, including a description of the Ladder of Change which underpins the tool
- Ladders describing a ten step journey for each of the ten outcome areas covered by the tool
- An overview of the Recovery Star Visual Resources that are available
- The Star Chart and Star Action Plan (Star and Plan), used to record progress and record any action plans drawn up between the user and worker, are provided as a separate leaflet for inclusion in case files and for retention by the service user

The Mental Health Recovery Star visual resources are a set of communication aids to support use of the Recovery Star across any number of key-work settings. The illustrations were produced as part of the 'Recovery Star and Cultural Competency' pilot project which was funded by the Delivering Race Equality in Mental Health (DRE) programme - incorporating feedback from frontline staff and clients using services across the pilot sites.
As well as providing an additional means for clients to access the Recovery Star tool, specifically they have been produced to better facilitate its use where there may be language barriers.
