An overview of the model, including its development and rationale, is provided along with examples of the effective use of tools based on the wellness model. The use of this approach among members of a community wellness center is described. Firsthand experiences of the authors are used to illustrate their personal journeys in using the model for their own recovery and in peer support work.
