"Surviving out of the Ashes" - An exploration of young adult service users' perspectives of mental health recovery.

Unlabelled: WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: The conceptual components of mental health recovery have been proposed, however, the barriers to their sustainability within the context of internal and external stressors require further exploration. Within their emerging adult role, young people will experience the personal challenges that will directly impact their understanding of their recovery, which will be different from other age groups. WHAT THE PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: Findings revealed recovery is understood as an uncharted, timely and personal process of engaging and transcending pain.

Tokenistic or genuinely effective? Exploring the views of voluntary sector staff regarding the emerging peer support worker role in mental health.

What Is Known On The Subject: The introduction of PSWs within mental health services has grown substantially both internationally and locally; however, no recognized studies have focused on the evolvement of this role within a Northern Ireland (NI) context. Research is increasingly focusing on service users' and PSWs perspectives on mental health service provision. Despite this, few studies exist which exclusively report staff views in relation to the PSW role.

Service user engagement: A co-created interview schedule exploring mental health recovery in young adults.

Background: Service user involvement in research has been increasingly recognized as providing a vital authentic insight into mental health recovery. Engagement and collaboration with service users have facilitated the exploration of inaccessible or under-investigated aspects of the lived experience of mental health recovery, not only directing the trajectory of research, but making it relevant to their own contextual experience.
