Recovery follows empowerment of clients i.e. of persons with psychosocial challenges in the initial stages through self-confidence induction, self-esteem enhancement, self-reliance induction, and the development of the ability to combat negativity and emerge as positive thinkers. 2.

If you have a larger than life purpose...
