Recovery and Resilience: African, African-Caribbean and South Asian Women's Narratives of Recovering from Mental Distress

This project aims to explore the concept of recovery from the perspectives of African, African-Caribbean and South Asian women using in-depth interviews that will focus on positive stories of recovery from mental distress.  Through these interviews, we hope to explore the language that women from these communities use to refer to their journeys of recovery and resilience, and to add these perspectives to the current knowledge base on recovery.

The project is based at the Mental Health Foundation and funded by the London Development Centre. The report is expected in October 2010.
