Adm Policy Ment Health. 2013 May;40(3):155-8. doi: 10.1007/s10488-011-0391-7.

Abstract

Recovery has been adopted as either the national policy or guiding principle for reforming mental health services in many countries. Development and implementation of the concept of recovery is still in its infancy in most Asian countries, and Hong Kong is no exception. The present authors propose three strategies to guide the transformation of Hong Kong mental health services toward becoming more recovery-oriented.
