Recovery capital: what enables a sustainable recovery from mental health difficulties? (2013, background): “…forms of meaningful occupation or activity, including paid work, educational participation, volunteering and recreational activity; others, such as clubs, cafés or bars may simply offer a sense of fellowship and belonging and many may offer some combination of both (Mezzina et al., 2006).”
Not Just an Individual Journey: Social Aspects of Recovery (2011, background): “Individuals with experience of mental distress have pointed out what it means to be involved in social interaction where one is reduced to an “I am disorder” (Estroff, 1985; Mezzina et al., 2006).”
Relational recovery: beyond individualism in the recovery approach (2017, background): “Of particular note, a group of colleagues in Europe conducted a series of qualitative studies exploring the pivotal roles played by family members, friends, professionals and the broader community in the recovery process (Mezzina et al., 2006; Schön, Denhov, & Topor, 2009; Topor et al., 2006).”
The nature of recovery as lived in everyday experience (2008, result): “As reported in prior research (Mezzina et al., 2006), these findings support the view that recovery is an inevitably social process as well as an integrated part of the person’s daily life.”
