Shaping Professional Role in Peer Support
Peer Support Workers in Mental Health Care
INTRODUCTION: The role of the Peer Support Worker (PSW) has gained increasing prominence in mental health services, yet its institutionalisation raises questions about balancing autonomy and assimilation into service logics. This study examines the narrative positionings of three PSWs, focusing on how they construct professional identity in relation to mandate, collaboration with practitioners, and service organisation. METHODS: A qualitative des…
How Do Collaborative Approaches Shape Power Dynamics in Therapeutic Relationships? Evidence From Recovery‐Oriented Mental Health Services
INTRODUCTION: Recovery-oriented mental health services emphasise collaboration, empowerment and service-user involvement. However, less is known about how power is enacted within relationships described as collaborative. This study explores how power dynamics are interactionally produced, negotiated and made visible within recovery-oriented therapeutic relationships. METHODS: The study involved 15 service users from an Italian recovery-oriented m…
How to Tell a Recovery Story ‘Professionally’? Issues Related to the Transformation of Personal Stories During a Training for Becoming a Peer Support Worker
INTRODUCTION: Sharing narratives about recovery is a central activity in peer support work. Researchers have so far investigated many issues related to recovery narratives, but have paid no attention to how the building and sharing of one's story are modified during training courses. This study examines the beliefs of participants in the first national training to become Peer Support Worker (PSW), funded by the Italian Ministry of Health in 2022-…
One or Many Recoveries? Recoveries in the Plural for a Better Understanding of One's Healing Journey
Desiring to be a non-birth mother. Lesbian women narrating non bio-normative maternal identity in Italy
Over the past three decades, Western societies have witnessed transformations in lesbian motherhood. This study examines the emergence of de novo lesbian families in Italy, focusing on nonbirth lesbian mothers (NBLMs). It addresses a gap in existing literature by exploring how NBLMs construct their sense of self as mothers, moving beyond the focus on decision-making processes within lesbian couples planning parenthood. The research is situated wi…
‘All About My Ideal Mental Health Service’
INTRODUCTION: Many studies have investigated patients' understandings of how to optimise mental health services. However, only a few studies in the Italian context have involved experts by experience (EbEs), who can be ex-users, family members of ex-users or current service collaborators. Their role is crucial in implementing collaborative service quality assessment projects. METHOD: The study investigated the experience of 35 EbEs, users, and fa…
‘But … Would I Be Able to Toast With Friends?’ When Service Users Ask for New Care Pathways
INTRODUCTION: The WHO European Mental Health Action Plan (2013-2030) emphasises the need to generate services that are more inclusive and attentive to the co-construction of care practices. This exploratory research investigates the needs of young substance abusers shown during their stay in residential communities; in particular, it explores the idea that treatment may include a new phase focused on how to manage moderate or controlled alcohol i…
