A toolkit for facilitating recovery-transformation of services

Walk the Talk provides concrete tools for facilitating the process of implementing Chapter 6 of the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s Guidelines for Recovery-Oriented Practice.

A bottom-up approach to transformation

Chapter 6 and its four sub-guidelines are all about transforming services and systems towards a recovery-orientation. Walk the Talk helps organisations to make their own choices around what to implement from these guidelines and how.

Facilitated

The toolkit is not just a list of actions, but a how-to resource to be used by a designated facilitator.

Streamlined

Implementation science concepts are integrated into practical actions and activities that streamline the process.

Recovery-focused

Recovery-oriented principles such as choice and empowerment are incorporated at every opportunity.
