The Framework vision
statement “Recovery through Partnership” guides us, as it recognises the
essential components of what we believe:
Recovery as the cornerstone of our
work is an ongoing individual journey, an outcome of restoring a positive sense
of self, a meaningful sense of belonging, while actively self managing mental
illness, and rebuilding life, and actively contributing within the community. |

Partnership as the fundamental relationship
between consumers, their family and Framework staff that is characterized by
mutual co-operation and responsibility, and is vital for the attainment of
recovery.
I believe Framework is on the right
path. We are championing first-rate, receptive services that challenge the
ordinary. This is so that people with mental health/intellectual
disability problems can maintain or rebuild valuable and satisfying lives
within and beyond the limits imposed by their difficulties.
Framework
has recently adopted Charles Rapp’s Strengths Model as a foundation for our
work. This has been the most significant
organisation wide training and service delivery initiative that Framework has
ever instituted. Internationally, the
Strengths Model is a “best practice” approach in the mental health sector.
Respecting and celebrating the
uniqueness of the individual helps both the consumer and Framework staff to
identify, use, build upon and reinforce inherent strengths the consumer
possesses. By using the Strengths Model
people are successful in living by using their strengths to attain their
aspirations and goals.
At Framework we
value:
o Demonstrating
integrity
o Valuing
diversity
o Working
collaboratively
o Striving
for excellence
o Communicating
effectively
o Financial
sustainability
o Environmental
responsibility
o Embracing

For
all of us in New Zealand 2009 is undoubtedly a year of challenge. At Framework we
have a positive view of the future as we strive to provide high quality
services and exploring new directions, to have our mission, vision and values
at the heart of our strategy, and to make a difference for those who experience
mental illness and intellectual disabilities.
I am confident that Framework will,
through working in partnership with people and utilising their strengths, have
a wide range of services that places individuals and families at its core, that
fosters resilience and recovery, and, through culturally effective supports,
enables individuals with mental illness to live, work, learn, and participate
fully in their communities.
