CPA and Recovery

Service users' experiences of recovery under the 2008 Care Programme Approach

This study has been set up by the Mental Health Foundation, in partnership with NSUN, and it is being conducted by two service user researchers: Dorothy Gould, the project lead, and Sarah Yiannoullou, NSUN’s Manager. The study will explore how effective service users find the Care Programme Approach in promoting recovery as they understand it.

Study participants will be service users and survivors of 18 and above who have experienced the Care Programme Approach since October 2008 and who live in a London borough. (The funding is for London.)

The study will start with a questionnaire. Dorothy and Sarah are looking for replies to this during September and October: from as diverse a range of participants as possible.

If you think you might like to contribute your views to the study, please follow the link for the recruitment leaflet and the information sheet about the study.  

The study  began in August 2011 and will continue until March 2012.
