As a clinician, she promotes mental health awareness to reduce stigmatization and empower those suffering and struggling with mental illness. Dr. Boyd clinical practices are oriented towards the Mental Health Recovery Model. Mental health recovery allows individuals to go through an active process of change, being in control, strengthening, and empowering themselves to improve their mental health and well-being. The recovery model emphasizes and supports a person's potential for recovery. Recovery sees symptoms as a continuum of the norm rather than an aberration. Mental health recovery is generally seen in this approach as a personal journey rather than a set outcome, and one that may involve developing hope, a secure base and sense of self, supportive relationships, empowerment, social inclusion, coping skills, and meaning.
