“…Primarily arising from the narratives of people who experienced mental health problems in response to their 'dissatisfaction with the disease-diagnosis-deficit model of mental health care' [1] (p. 43), the concept of recovery is now an underpinning principle of mental health and social care policy, including the recent [2] guidance document on the development of community mental health services. While there is much debate and critique on the meaning of recovery, with some writers commenting on how the radical intent of the original concept has been subverted and co-opted by professionals [3,4], there is little disagreement that the meaningful realisation of a recovery ethos within routine mental health care practice requires practitioners to involve service users and family members in all aspects of service design and delivery [5,6].…”

Evidence demonstrates that psychoeducation interventions have clinical and recovery-related benefits for people experiencing psychosis and their family members. The EOLAS programmes are one example of recovery-oriented psychoeducation programmes for psychosis. They differ from other programmes in that they are co-designed and co-facilitated (peer and clinician) group programmes. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, EOLAS went online using a videoconferencing platform. The study examined the feasibility, acceptability and usefulness of EOLAS-Online and explored whether some of the positive recovery outcomes reported by attendees regarding the in-person programmes were replicated online. Data were collected through an online survey and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. Fifteen attendees (40% of attendees) completed the surveys and eight participated in interviews. A total of 80% were satisfied/very satisfied with the programme. The programme was rated highly for increased knowledge of mental health, coping strategies, and engaging with peers. The use of technology was mostly unproblematic, although some audio and video-related challenges were identified. Engaging with the online programme was experienced positively, including facilitator support to engage. The overall findings indicate that EOLAS-Online is feasible, acceptable and useful in supporting attendees’ recovery journeys.
