Pillar Aberdeen

The philosophy underlying Pillar is committed to Personal Recovery. Based in the belief that people will achieve their own personal recovery. It is a holistic and inclusive approach that considers all elements of a person's quality of life. It recognizes that the extent to which someone enjoys good health and well being is influenced by a very wide range of social, environmental and individual factors and is about much more than just the management of symptoms.

 

For individuals recovering from a mental illness or coping with a stressful situation, social contact and involvement with others is a key element in promoting health. It can help people to feel more positive about themselves in that they experience being valued and liked and having something to offer others. It is seen as enabling people to make full use of their abilities and potential skills further enabling and developing opportunity in mainstream living.
