This study focuses on training mental health service teams using the REFOCUS program, which is designed to shift care towards a recovery-oriented approach. The training consists of a 3-day course aimed at enhancing the skills of professionals in managing patients with various mental disorders. Following the training, the effectiveness of the REFOCUS implementation will be evaluated over a one-year period, assessing various outcomes such as recovery rates, cost reductions, and improvements in stigma and overall well-being among patients. The study aims to provide a structured framework for mental health services to better support patient recovery.
