This is one of a series of discussion papers designed to help generate debate on how best to promote and support recovery from long-term mental health problems in Scotland. This paper is based on international learning around what people have identified as important elements in the promotion and support of recovery from long-term mental health problems. It is by no means exhaustive and should be seen as an illustrative guide to understanding recovery, designed to generate debate and discussion, rather than a definitive statement on what is unquestionably a highly individual and specific experience.
