Whilst the educational outcomes of EBE involvement are established, less is known about the working mechanisms through which these outcomes are obtained. By utilising an abductive approach, this research presents a conceptual framework of the working mechanisms underpinning EBE involvement in the mental health context. Thirty-n…

A systematic review of influences on implementation of peer support work for adults with mental health problems
Positive growth from adversity and beyond
Growth following adversity is a well-known phenomenon. Yet studies often focus on specific populations and/or specific types of adversities, thus limiting opportunities to identify underlying common processes of growth. The present study sought to identify shared positive change processes in different samples of individuals each of whom faced life adversities (clinical/nonclinical) and experienced growth as a result. We conducted a secondary anal…

To gain in-depth understanding of this dilemma, we interviewed 29 individuals with mental illnesses: 16 with major depression/bipolar disorders and 13 with schizophrenia. Using a phenomenological design, we analyzed individuals' experiences, decision-making processes, and views of gains and costs regarding con…
