Understanding How Participation in a Consumer‐Run Organization Relates to Recovery
The goal of this study was to examine how different types of participation in a consumer‐run organization (CRO) are related to recovery. More specifically, this study uses structural equation modeling to examine the relative impact of empowering and socially supportive participation experiences on progress towards recovery among 250 CRO members from 20 CROs. An empowering participation experience refers to involvement in leadership roles and cont…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Mental Health Self‐Help
Since the 1950s, people with mental illness and their families have been organizing a wide range of self‐directed, mutual support oriented initiatives, including self‐help groups, nonprofit organizations, and businesses.

This study explores both, applying behavior setting theory to consumer‐run organizations (CROs). Analysis of multiple data sets from all CROs in Kansas provide insight into how organizational size influences member participation, how members benefit from p…

Some self-help groups prohibit professional involvement (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous), and other groups (e.g., Mended Hearts, a group for heart attack victims) have extensive involvement with professionals. Many theorists and researchers argue convincingly that groups which are professionally led are fundamentally different from peer-led self-help groups (Schubert & Borkman, 1991), and that professionals impact the behavior settings of the group (…
