Abstract: |
This article introduces the new meaning of recovery, and reflects on its potential to develop current thinking and practice in mental health with adults. It also explores the implications for service providers and service users, with regards to the UK government's policy to move disabled people, including mental health service users, from welfare back to work. The social and economic climate that drives this policy agenda, and the implications for society of the focus on employment, are presented. The article reflects on the role of work in supporting or hindering the recovery process and identities re-formation, in part through the experience of the first author. The article concludes by suggesting how practice can enable a process of returning to ordinary living, including employment, that supports recovery through a process of shared responsibilities. |
