Co-Production in Mental Health : Implementing Policy Into Practice

This book examines the recovery principle of co-production within mental health services. It defines co-production 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. Chapters outline the foundational principles in implementing the concept in services, theories of co-production in and outside of mental health settings, how to translate theory into practice and examples of implementation. It also explores the sustainability of co-production and the tensions that are present between the idea of recovery and mental health policy. 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 is an ideal introduction to the concept of co-production in mental health and will be valuable reading for those researching and working in the area of mental health services and recovery, including nurses, occupational therapists and social workers--
