Abstract
Delivering recovery-oriented services is particularly challenging in in-patient settings. The purpose of this study was to
identify the most salient recovery competencies required of in-patient providers. Established methods for the development
of competencies were used. Data collection included interviews with multiple stakeholders and a literature review. Data analysis
focused on understanding how characteristics of the in-patient context influence recovery-enabling service delivery and the
competencies associated with addressing these issues. Eight core competencies with four to ten sub-competencies were identified
based on a tension–practice–consequence model. The competency framework can serve as a tool for tailoring workforce education.
