MENTAL HEALTH RECOVERY AGREEMENT
1. I will reaffirm daily that my identity comes from Jesus Christ and who He says I am. I will deny the lie that my identity is in my diagnosis.
So, in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.(Galatians 3: 26 (NIV))
2. I will submit to the will of God in my life, knowing that while I may not understand the reasons why I have a mental health issue, God is in control. If I let Him work in my life, He will do what is best for me in my circumstance.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 (ESV))
3. I will share my victories and my struggles with someone I trust on a consistent basis. In doing so I refuse to live in isolation from others
Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. (Ecclesiastes 4:9 (NLT))
4. I will faithfully follow any treatment plans designed for me by my mental health practitioner. I will continue to take medications as prescribed . I will meet with my mental health practitioner regularly to make sure the correct plan is in place.
The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel. (Proverbs 12:15 (NASB))
5. I will continue to work the CR 12 Steps and 8 Principles, having as an ultimate goal to be more and more like Jesus in everything I do.
Change into his glorious image (2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV))

Please use this to help a friend in need. make a copy and have a real and open conversation about how you can walk with them in their mental health recovery. It is believed that having a conversation and a contract will create that pause in someone's thinking just long enough for them to reconsider their plan and hold themselves accountable to another person. This gives time for our Higher Power to step in and allow not only his great love begin to move but also allows their friends and accountabiliy partners to come to their side.
