More detailed description of this journey.

The Recovery Star has been tested for accessibility by BME mental health organisations. A report of this project is available from the Mental Health Providers Forum. As a result of this work some scale point descriptions were modified and visual resources were developed for service users with limited English or literacy.

Resources:

  1. Star Chart, User guide and Organisational guide
  2. Visual resources for service users with limited English or literacy
  3. Information on translating the Recovery Star into other languages

Training is essential for all workers to use the Recovery Star confidently and effectively support. Click here to find out more about Triangle's in-house training and licensed trainer scheme or email training@triangleconsulting.co.uk with your training needs. 

Triangle Consulting and the Mental Health Providers Forum are currently seeking collaborators for a variant of the Recovery Star for people in long term, high care and/or secure services, where the goal of self-reliance is not appropriate. Contact Triangle Director Sara Burns for details.
