Abstract:
Family carers often support people with mental ill-health, however, there is a dearth of research on the importance of recovery to mental health carers. This article describes the delivery and qualitative evaluation of an online training programme on recovery to a group of eleven carers. The participants considered their understanding of the meaning of recovery, differentiating between its personal and clinical nature. They highlighted the importance of carer involvement in the service users' professional support, alongside the need for carers to participate more widely in service development. Finally, the participants found the training useful in enabling them to recognise their own needs in a caring journey, particularly valuing its delivery by a service user and carer trainer. This study is limited by the small number of participants in this programme; however, this series of connected studies suggests its potential to be rolled out more widely, possibly embedded in Recovery Colleges.
