Description
Book SynopsisThis book examines the recovery principle of co-production within mental health services, defining it as the creation of a space where all stakeholders including service users, family members, carers and supporters come together in a partnership to improve all aspects of mental health services.
Exploring both the practicalities and complexities of co-production, the book provides detailed analyses of all aspects of the concept in relation to mental health and discusses the growing evidence-base for adopting co-production as a recovery approach within a mental health setting. The book's chapters outline: the foundational principles in implementing the concept in services; the theories of co-production in and outside of mental health settings; how to translate theory into practice; and examples of implementation. The book also explores the sustainability of co-production and the tensions that are present between the idea of recovery and mental health policy.
