Would love to hear your thoughts...

Episode 02 introduces the four chapters in the CORE Module and the nautical metaphor: Navigating Rocky Waters
Navigating Rocky Water is about recovery. We all need hope, it is central to our mental health and well being. Recovery for those with mental illness (depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anorexia, bulimia, borderline personality disorder) has its ups and downs but with the right support at the right time people can captain their own lives.

There is a fundamental contradiction at the heart of mental health services between care and control. In the first chapter in CORE, Care Compass we grapple with this dilemma, this is particularly the case when supporting someone in suicidal distress. Worldwide mental health services have been guided by the recovery philosophy on their transformation journey. Capturing hope, creating agency and realizing a life beyond illness underlie all that we do. We are acutely aware that there is no place for force in recovery. However the use of force continues, we believe that proactive systems of care can help us navigate through the choppy waters of the care and control contradiction. PROTECT stands for PROactive deTECTtion. We led a project called PROMISE to collate and replicate all such proactive initiatives and make the use of force redundant. Navigating Rocky Waters was written as part of that project. We have come to believe that seemingly binary positions like risk and recovery or care and control are part of a spectrum, without risk there is no recovery, with the right care the person in distress will have more control. So to help our colleagues draw inspiration from individual recovery journeys of our patients we have used a nautical analogy. This brief film is full of life jackets, lifeboats, anchors, lighthouses, maps, compasses, etc. So, we hope you enjoy being at sea.
