Black Women, Recovery and Resilience

This project aimed to explore the concept of recovery from the perspectives of African, African-Caribbean and South Asian women using in-depth interviews that focus on positive stories of recovery from mental distress.  Through these interviews, we explored 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 was based at the Mental Health Foundation and funded by the National Mental Health Development Unit. The report will be launched on 23rd March. Check back here for links to the report.
