The Power of REC-CAP
The REC-CAP evaluation is based on Recovery Capital. Odyssey have been using Recovery Capital to assist kaimahi and tāngata whai ora to understand and encourage growth on a person’s recovery journey. Developed by Professor David Best, the REC-CAP’s strengths-based approach highlights individual achievements and recovery strengths to support and overcome barriers.
It is completed online. A visual results profile is generated immediately. Its interactive nature allows participants see how they answered previously. Results inform recovery care planning. The aim is to combine the summary of results into a clear form, helping to set the agenda for recovery goals.

REC-CAP Champs
“This tool drew me in. I could see the positive impact it was having when whai ora were engrossed with it. They stay future- and solutions-focussed when reviewing goals. Recovery capital highlights the strengths they already have to support them to accomplish it. It helps staff identify areas that may require extra support from external services, supporting us to bridge that gap.”
