"The goal of FloridaSDC is to respect and promote self-determination, recovery and full community inclusion for people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness and who depend on government subsidized mental wellness services."1
"In its simplest form recovery can be defined as improving, mending, healing and renewal. Recovery is about developing individual’s strengths and assets and giving individual’s the room, support and confidence to do so in the process. Recovery is about overcoming the adverse effects of mental illness that may have hampered the ability to fulfill personal life goals."2
"The ultimate goal of the FloridaSDC program is to give participants the opportunity to design and travel a personalized road to recovery from the adverse effects of mental illness to that they can return to a productive lifestyle."3
"The experience of mental illness is traumatic in and of itself, and often---and unfortunately---the treatment for mental illness can also be traumatic."4
"Trauma informed care recognizes "...the survivor’s need to be respected, informed, connected, and hopeful regarding their own recovery; the interrelation between trauma and symptoms of trauma (e.g. substance abuse, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, etc.); and the need to work in a collaborative way with survivors (and also with family and friends of the survivor) and with other human services agencies in a manner that will empower survivors and consumers."5
