Community-Based Recreation Therapy and Mental Health Recovery: A Mixed-Media Participatory Action Research Study.

Background: Personal recovery is an individualized process through which people develop a positive identity and live a meaningful life, with symptoms of mental illness. Few studies have explored the role of recreation therapy in the recovery process from the perspectives of individuals with lived experience of mental illness.
