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.

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. This discussion paper examines the issues involved in researching recovery from mental illness. It discusses some of the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to research and argues that qualitative methods are suitable for the generation of rich, narrative accounts of lived experiences that may aid the identification of factors promoting recovery. The importance of Scottish research is acknowledged and a summary of some of the ethical issues raised by qualitative research is given. It concludes that a qualitative research study of people’s experiences in Scotland will establish an evidence base that can be used for service development and the generation of further research that will contribute to the understanding and promotion of recovery.
