The Irish ‘Vision for Change’, 2006 mental health policy document proposes a framework for promoting mental health and a recovery approach to inform every level of service provision. Comprehensive assessment by the rehabilitation and recovery multidisciplinary team with active involvement of the service user is crucial in the identification of needs, goals and recovery factors. This paper outlines importance of a comprehensive assessment tool, which helps to guide the service user towards identification and achievement of their goals while encompassing the recovery ethos.
