TL;DR: This paper identifies seven mis‐uses (“abuses”) of the concept of recovery and identifies ten empirically‐validated interventions which support recovery, by targeting key recovery processes of connectedness, hope, identity, meaning and empowerment (the CHIME framework).

TL;DR: Evidence for inequalities in morbidity and mortality by occupational social class and material standard of living has become irrefutable and attention has turned to the effects of social context.

TL;DR: The concept of resilience has been used in developmental psychology and psychiatry to describe individuals' capacities to achieve well-being and thrive despite significant adversity as mentioned in this paper, which is also a useful concept in ecology where it draws attention to the ability of ecosystems to adapt to environmental stress through transformation.

TL;DR: Fidelity outcomes for five evidence-based practices that were implemented in routine public mental health settings in the National Implementing Evidence-Based Practices Project showed an increase in fidelity from baseline to 12 months, with scores leveling off between 12 and 24 months.

TL;DR: It is found that people with mental illness frequently state that recovery is a journey, characterized by a growing sense of agency and autonomy, as well as greater participation in normative activities, such as employment, education, and community life, but most people with SMI still live in a manner inconsistent with recovery.
