“Recovery in practice” – Certified practitioner CARe Model (CPCM)
Most recent CPCM has finished in December 2023. Follow this page for the next instalment of CPCM.
Overview and general concept
“Recovery in practice” – Certified practitioner CARe Model (CPCM) provides essential knowledge and skills to become a certified CARe practitioner and allows the use of the approach in daily practice. It aims to empower professionals, teams, and communities in the field of mental health to enhance their abilities in providing relational recovery-oriented care and support.
The CARe model is an approach and methodology oriented to support persons in vulnerable situations (due to psychiatric conditions, addiction, homelessness, poverty, and marginalisation) in their recovery process. The CARe Model is aimed to increase quality of life, self-reliance and community participation.
CARe is an acronym for Comprehensive Approach to psychosocial Rehabilitation and in latest developments was elaborated to Supportive Relational Approach. It was developed over the last 35 years by Jean-Pierre Wilken and Dirk den Hollander from the Netherlands and is used now in more than 15 countries.
Though its core essence (supporting people in achieving their desired level of quality of life) has remained unchanged over the years, the methodology has evolved over time under the influence of new scientific understanding, social movements and especially in accordance with experiential knowledge. It gives perspective and approach to the practice, but also useful working methods and tools which can be used to support joint unique recovery journey on the individual, team, and organizational level.
CARe is used widespread in different kinds of services e.g., in assisted living facilities, in mental health care hospitals and community care, in services of social care, in ACT and FACT teams, in supported housing, in youth care, forensic care, and in addiction care. It is also used in supporting clients with an intellectual disability and clients with an autism spectrum disorder.
“Recovery in practice” training is international and is aimed to connect participants from different countries. We have very good experiences with training across Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Armenia, Albania etc. The trainerโs team is international composed of experienced professionals working in a range of positions in mental health care. As we highlight recovery and peer work as important principles, experts by experience are an integral part of our team and we embrace the co-production of the training together.
The training will be held online in English. To ensure good quality of the training, we combine different forms of learning and practice: face-to face online meetings, e-learning modules, home tasks and assignments, participantโs online group meetings, coaching and individual supervision.
The training requires a strong engagement of participants. It is meant to help participants to use CARe directly in their practice, as we believe โlearning by doingโ is the best way to gain deep understanding, knowledge, skills, and personal experience. Because of that the training is spread in 7 months to give the participants needed support and time to experience CARe in practice and learn during the training process. To benefit from the Training, participantโs ability to dedicate at least 10 hours per month is highly recommended.
This training program supports participants (experts by experience and experts by education) to become innovators, to explore beyond well-known terrain to work together and support the change in their team, organization, or environment.
The training also opens the possibility to become a member of The CARe network as an empowering resource of mutual support and experiences to help persons to continue in personal and professional development and become a changing agent in your environment.

- General principles of CARe approach, theory and working methods of the Model CARe.
