“…Scaffolding underlines the importance of personal agency as the basis of change and is acknowledged to have particular relevance to the principles of recovery and the practice of occupational therapy (Davidson et al 2010). Here it describes a method of environmental adaptation: the creation of a flexible, temporary, affirming psychosocial space.…”

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR TEXT. 419British Journal of Occupational Therapy September 2012 75(9) Research IntroductionMental health service users are one of the most excluded and disenfranchised groups in society (Leff and Warner 2006). Social exclusion has been defined as non-participation in key activities of the society in which a person lives (Burchardt et al 2002). This suggests that supporting community participation can be a way of addressing this intractable problem (Office of the Deputy Prime Minister 2004). Developing an inquiryPractitioners in a Bristol assertive outreach (AO) team (which includes the author) observed that many service users had been supported to engage successfully with mainstream community occupations, propelling their own recovery journeys. A preparatory audit of AO case notes by the lead researcher confirmed this for about 45% of the AO caseload.This phenomenon was explored to determine whether actionable learning about how these outcomes had been achieved could be applied more widely across local community mental health teams and day services, which aimed to develop socially inclusive practice by becoming more embedded in the community (National Social Inclusion Programme /Care Services Improvement Partnership 2006). In particular, the learning was relevant to the work of a local interagency community consortium, convened to coordinate the joint efforts of local day services and community partners to develop new communitybased occupational opportunities for mental health service users.Community participation and recovery for mental health service users: an action research inquiry Jon Fieldhouse Key words:Community mental health, social inclusion, recovery. Introduction:The social inclusion of individuals with mental health problems is an issue for mental health services, for the individuals who experience stigma, discrimination and exclusion, and for society at large. To develop community-orientated services that are capable of promoting inclusion it will, therefore, be advantageous to all parties to understand what service users find most helpful.Method: A 2-year action research project explored the recovery journeys of a group of assertive outreach service users who had progressed from being socially excluded and occupationally deprived to being participants in their local comm...

“…Its most recent iteration is recovery, which introduced the idea that persons with severe and persistent psychiatric disorders can reclaim stability, social functioning and meaningful life planning while managing the adversities of their disorder (Jacobson 2004; Davidson et al 2010; Slade 2009). That this would mean re-examining ingrained assumptions about persons with mental illness, their possibilities, and the institutional fields where they might be tested, was clear in the call for “profound change” within a public mental health system characterized as “a shambles” (Department of Health and Human Services 2003).…”

Embodying Recovery: A Qualitative Study of Peer Work in a Consumer-Run Service Setting

The use of peer support for persons with mental illness has been gaining force. While research has demonstrated the benefits of peer support, few studies have investigated the qualitative characteristics of how peer support aids persons recovering from mental illness. Therefore, this study sought to clarify the characteristics that constitute peer support and its contribution to recovery. We conducted ethnographic fieldwork and semi-structured interviews with nine peer advocates at a consumer-run organization in New York City, and identified three themes that describe how peer support influences recovery: transforming experience into expertise, understanding the mechanics of peer support, and launching peers towards their own recovery. Peer support plays a critical role in helping clients move beyond their patient role to an empowered sense of personhood. Additionally, the value of peer support highlights current deficiencies within the mental health system and how a bolder shift towards recovery might repair them.

Les politiques psychiatriques et les politiques sociales se rejoignent aujourd’hui autour d’un principe qui consiste à mettre la personne et son projet de vie au centre des interventions dans une perspective de « rétablissement ». L’article interroge la manière dont ce principe est appliqué dans des programmes d’intervention en direction de personnes ayant des troubles psychiques graves. À partir de l’analyse d’une étude de cas, nous tirons des enseignements épistémologiques et politiques quant au rôle de la notion de « projet de vie » dans les recompositions du champ de la santé mentale.Psychiatric policies and social policies are in agreement these days regarding the principle of putting the individual and his or her “life plan” at the centre of treatment from a recovery perspective. This paper questions the way this principle is applied in treatment programs for people having serious psychological disorders. Based on analysis of a case study, we draw epistemological and political lessons about the role of the concept of life plan in reconfigurations of the field of mental health
