  1. developing partners recovery through discovery

  2. Our History Research Governance Framework (2002) – highlighted the need for service user and carer involvement in ALL aspects of the research process DEVELOP - Service User and Carer Group who helped us devise our skills development programme ARISE - Accessible Research Involvement for Service Evaluation, was our first project. It gave us the experience we needed to set up developing partners. I suppose you could say we have ARISEN!

  3. recovery through discovery What we are: DoH Funded Social Enterprise Company Ltd by Guarantee Workers Co-operative Employment for All The greatest barrier people face is not being given the chance to prove their effectiveness”, (DoH, 2006)‏ Undertake research and evaluation and staff training relevant to our own lived experience Most important aspect is enabling the voices of those least often heard to be listened to!

  4. Our Philosophy Paulo Freire Brazilian Educational Psychologist Conceptual Framework Knowledge is not neutral – there are hidden agendas contained within it. Oppressed peoples often experience life as objects – they are acted upon, as opposed to acting for themselves. They can sometimes lack the critical skills essential for influencing the institutions that have control over their lives. He advocated for a process he called “Conscientization”

  5. Conscientization Changes in both the internal and external world of the person Development of the link between knowledge and power through self directed action Allows people to question the nature of their historical and social situation Transforms the object experience of being acted upon into a subject experience of acting upon

  6. Our Philosophy Ignacio Martin-Baro Jesuit Priest and Liberation Psychologist “If our aim is to serve the liberation needs of the people, we need to ally ourselves with poor and oppressed groups in their struggle for justice and dignity.” “We need to develop a progressive psychology that helps people find the road to their personal and collective historical fulfilment In our case more than anyone else’s, the principal holds…the concern of the social scientist should be not so much to explain the world, as to change it.”

  7. What Does That Look Like? Power Awareness: making and remaking society and history by human action Critical Analysis of Discourse: beyond the surface impressions to an in depth analysis De-socialisation: Challenging the myths, values and behaviours adopted as object Self Organisation and Education:Transformational relationships based on equality and shared power

  8. Problem Posing Experiential: Learn by doing Participatory: At a level that suits the individual Situated: In the lived experience of the individual Democratic: Mutually constructed by the individual and the group Dialogic: raises awareness and facilitates the process of conscientization / awareness Challenges oppression: active subjects not passive objects Activist: seeks answers through the research process

  13. recovery through discovery A Word about the Recovery Process Can occur without professional intervention Essential to have people who believe in and support you in the process of recovery Is not linked to the cause of the problem Can take place even if symptoms re-occur Alters the pattern and symptoms of the illness Does not happen in a straight line Consequences of mental ill health more difficult to recover from than the original episode Does not mean the illness never happened!
