This is one of a series of discussion papers designed to help generate debate on how best to promote and support recovery from long-term mental health problems in Scotland. Traditional approaches to supporting people with significant mental health problems have tended to make little use of people's connections with their local communities. Yet communities have strengths and attributes which are an important part of recovery. There are examples of ways people in Scotland are already using links with communities to contribute to individuals' recovery. The experience of Circles of Support and other ways to build community networks show how these examples might be developed. There are also ways of building in community connections to make wider services and strategies more supportive of recovery.

A report from a research project funded by the Scottish Executive's National Programme for Improving Mental Health and Well-being Small Research Projects Initiative to explore ways in which services can support the promotion of mental health is presented. The focus was on the range of community-based services with which people with health problems come in contact, including specialist mental health services, other health and social care services and, potentially, the other public and commercial services that are used by everyone. It aimed to identify ways in which community services can promote and support recovery, and to complement other activities that were being planned as part of the overall recovery programme within the National Programme. This project set out to identify the experiences and views of people about what keeps them well and to identify ways in which community services can support people's mental health and well-being.

The researchers wanted to find out what helped people keep well, and they also looked at what health and social care services and ordinary community resources can do to help people be well and support people in their recovery from a mental health problem.
