Getting back into the world Reflections on lived experiences of recovery
Rethink recovery series: volume 2
This report is part of Rethink’s programme of work on recovery and focuses on the experiences and perspectives of people facing the challenge of recovering from mental illness. It involved an innovative model whereby Rethink’s research team worked in partnership with seven people with personal experience of mental health problems and treatment who interviewed 48 people with similar experiences across England. AstraZeneca has provided a sponsorship grant towards this independent programme.
Rethink are proud to produce this report which summarises what we found. The study focuses on the person with mental illness in their daily life to understand recovery. It looks at how individuals are equally dependent on personal resources as well as opportunities and supports available in their environment to navigate their own ‘recovery journey’. The report describes how recovery may look like and be possible for people who experience persistent or recurring mental health problems. We hope that the findings may be useful to people with mental health problems as well as those in supportive roles, reminding everyone involved in mental health of the opportunities as well as obstacles that can be provided or reduced to assist the work on recovery.
