Recovery-Oriented Practices Index (ROPI)

The Recovery-Oriented Practices Index (ROPI) is a measure assessing the degree to which mental health services and programs embody recovery-oriented principles and practices. Developed by Sanja P. Barbic, Trevor Krupa, and Inge Armstrong in 2009, the ROPI evaluates whether services prioritize consumer choice, hope, autonomy, social participation, peer support, and community integration—the hallmarks of recovery-oriented mental health care. The ROPI is used to assess and guide the transformation of mental health services from a traditional medical/deficit model toward a recovery-oriented, consumer-centered approach.
