Kate’s journey to recovery – A Steps to Recovery Case example

The aim of this article is to provide an example of how the Steps to Recovery programme is being implemented within a community mental health service for older people. Within the article there will be a general introduction to the Steps to Recovery programme, how its evidence base originates from work with older people, and how it can enable older adults’ mental health services to implement a recovery orientated approach. In order to demonstrate how the Steps to Recovery programme can help older people, we will provide an example of a patient who was supported through the group towards her own personal recovery.
