Recupero Seguro on what the job is
Mr. Recupero:
"I searched the internet last night at the hotel and found some VA hospitals are looking for staff to fill positions for recovery coordinators. I read what the job for recovery coordinators in the VA system is. Let me read it to you. It says:
[Serves as Local Recovery Coordinator (LRC) to assist in implementation of policies and procedures from the National Recovery Coordinator (NRC).
Functions as a champion and advocate for the recovery model. Also serves as a recovery ombudsman to the Mental Health Service Chief, program managers, and staff on recovery and implementation of recovery oriented services.
In conjunction with the Chief of Mental Health, develops a 3-5 year plan for the facility that identifies staged implementation of recovery oriented services. Responsible for coordinating the evaluation of recovery implementation and reporting results to the National Recovery Coordinator (NRC).
With the guidance of the NRC, the LRC will implement measures to assess recovery policy and procedure adherences, as well as assess that the recovery model is embodied in the Mental Health programs.
Develops a facility recovery education plan for providers and for veterans and their families. Develops an ongoing education plan for providers. Develops an ongoing education plan for veterans and their families.
