For Recovery to Emerge from the Gestalt background, Hope has to be Real: Hope is the vitalizing essential for the process of recovery. The chance of a better future is what will sustain the Individual who faces the struggles and challenges of recovering from Mental Health or Substance Use disorders.

Hope comes from different sources; family, friends, institutions and clinical professionals, service providers and, of course from Peer Specialists. Yet ultimately, Hope must be Internalized to reach maximum effectiveness.
