Mission To have psychiatric mental health nurses as a full partner with stakeholders in the creation and maintenance of recovery oriented systems of care. Core Values Recovery is possible for individuals with mental illness. It is important to empower individuals to achieve recovery. Hope is an essential component of recovery and includes the belief that a meaningful life is possible. Empowerment offers people the tools to help themselves. Using person-first language demonstrates respect for all individuals. Mental health recovery is a journey of healing and transformation enabling a person with a mental health problem to live a meaningful life in a community of his/her choice while striving to achieve his/her full potential (SAMHSA).
