Recovery Capital
Recovery Capital is about building on strengths — helping people recognise the personal, social, and community resources that support long-term recovery. At Odyssey, this begins in peer-led groups, deepens through individual Peer Navigation, and extends into the community through Asset-Based Community Engagement (ABCE).

What is Recovery Capital?
Recovery Capital describes the internal and external resources that help people initiate and sustain recovery. It focuses on strengths, relationships, and community connection — recognising that recovery flourishes when people have access to belonging, opportunity, and culture.
Three Domains:
· Personal Capital: Hope, resilience, coping skills, motivation.
· Social Capital: Relationships with whānau, peers, mentors, recovery communities.
· Community Capital: Access to housing, education, employment, recreation.
Cultural and Identity Capital weaves through all three — connection to whakapapa, culture, and identity that strengthens and sustains recovery.
