Glossary of Terms
adapter This is an organisation that finds its strategic advantage in its flexibility and its ability to meld quickly into changing circumstances. These organisations often adapt to the strategies set out by other organisations.
family Family is not limited to relationships based on blood ties, and may include: relatives, partners, iwi, hapu, the mental health consumer, friends and others in a support network and other non-relatives including flatmates, clergy, workmates, school friends and others who care about and support the person experiencing a mental illness.
family-based recovery practice The family-based recovery is the set of procedures, practices and styles that MSF employs to enable recovery. The family/whanau provides the support and is facilitated by MSF to become intimately involved in the recovery of their family member through fostering encouragement and understanding in the family/whanau.
holistic Holistic refers in this sense to the surrounding environment and all possible external factors that influence an individual's recovery.
recovery Recovery is not producing the absence of mental illness. Recovery is based upon empowering the mental health consumer to deal with their illness through the support and empowerment of their family/whanau. In this sense, recovery is about breaking down barriers to well being.
shaper This is an organisation that is in the position to actually alter the dynamics of the market or area in which it functions. These are generally powerful organisations, though other smaller organisations still have a part to play in shaping an environment.
