Towards recovery: principles of good practice in the treatment, care, rehabilitation and recovery of people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia and related mental disorders.
Schizophrenia Ireland; Lucia Foundation; Irish Psychiatric Association
“Towards Recovery” is a new initiative aimed at achieving a
collaborative position on the principles that should underpin
and guide the delivery of services for people with schizophrenia
and their families in Ireland. The document has been complied
after close collaboration and consultation between the two
organisations. It is the beginning of setting objectives by which
services can be compared and improved. It is hoped that others
will adopt it as a basis to guide service developments for the
future, in the knowledge that it represents the views of
important contributors to this process. [Extract from Foreword]

The prevention of suicide is an important issue for Shine. The reasons why people die by suicide are many and varied and in many cases it is difficult to ascertain a precise reason. We do know, however, that certain at-risk groups are more likely to attempt suicide and these include people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. The purpose of this document is to encourage discussion around these at-risk groups and to suggest ways that we can assist in reducing that risk.

Your choice: lifestyle, medication and recovery
Redican, John; Miller, Helen L. Dr.
This paper was produced to aid both service users and their families in negotiating the best arrangement within the mental healthcare services. It considers a number of important elements:
• An understanding and awareness of the effects of medication, and specifically how to engage with the prescriber, to ensure that one has full knowledge and understanding of not only the effects, but the side effects and consequences of taking medication.
• The very significant issue of lifestyle. We know that many people with severe and enduring mental health problems may have many physical conditions, which are worrying to the individual and their family, and which can take their toll on one’s physical and mental health.
• Many of these physical conditions can be alleviated by proper medical care, in combination with lifestyle changes and good self-management.
• The paper also outlines the service user’s perspective and includes some useful hints to assist users when dealing with their mental healthcare services.

Schizophrenia and wellbeing
Thakore, Jogin Dr; O'Shea, Donal Dr.; Millar, Dr. Helen L.
Scientific research and the anecdotal experience of service users and their families have alerted us to the higher than average risk of poor physical health associated with mental illness. Factors such as genetic predisposition, metabolic processes, treatment effects, diet, lifestyle choices and the experience of having severe and enduring mental illness all contribute to the development of specific physical illness.
This booklet reports on some of these factors and offers a practical way of responding.
