Recovery is not only possible;
it is expected!

Personal recovery means different things to different people. It is often described as living a fulfilled, meaningful, and purposeful life. So, recovery is not about “the illness”, but rather it is about learning how to live with and beyond the signs and symptoms of mental illness so that you live a life that you want to live!

About us

Your Personal Recovery Journey was co-produced by the Schizophrenia Society of Canada and an advisory committee of people with lived/living experience of mental illness and/or mental health problems, and recovery. Family members of people with lived/living experience were represented on the advisory committee as well.
