In 2006 a new model of recovery was developed by Challenge Trust in New Zealand. This model was driven out of extensive consultation with a wide range of client groups. The groups were asked what caused their condition, what made them feel well, what caused them to relapse and what sustained a feeling of wellbeing.
The responses fell neatly into six domains, which together, now make up Challenge Trust’s model of recovery. The domains are:
There is a large body of research supporting the effectiveness of recovery by working in one or more of these domains in a healing environment. Gaps in any of the domains can act as a barrier to recovery and this holistic approach is a point of difference that sets it apart from other providers. As a result, Challenge Trust is producing sustainable results to support the recovery model.
It is recognised that all domains must be addressed for every client, and the importance of each domain and recovery plan will be different for each client.
The generic nature of Challenge Trust’s client recovery model means that it is sensitive to all cultures. It is deemed to be so flexible that Challenge Trust delivers services to Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) to deliver recovery-related services to accident victims suffering from head injuries and physical disability.
At Challenge we believe that everyone is capable of living a meaningful and satisfying life, being the best that they can be, with the same rights, opportunities and choices as others. Recovery is a journey, not a destination. Everyone’s recovery journey will be different, reflecting their uniqueness as individuals. Our role is to walk beside people on their journey, supporting and motivating them to achieve their full potential.
