“…Along with understanding and self-acceptance, participants described the disappointment of discovering that they are still coping with challenges daily and that ADHD will not go away. This theme resonates with the conceptualization of the recovery journey in chronic mental health conditions, as a dynamic, nonlinear process with "ups and downs" (Doroud et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder among adults has been associated with deficits in executive functioning and poor quality of life. The purpose of this study is to examine feasibility of the Cognitive Functional Remote Group intervention among adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Method: Mixed-method feasibility study. Five adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder received 16 weekly sessions of Cognitive Functional Remote Group. Results: The target population was easily recruited and showed interest in the treatment. All participants completed the intervention and were moderately-very highly satisfied with different aspects of the intervention. Additionally, pre–post measures demonstrated high rates of clinically significant improvements in the quality of life measure and less so in executive functioning. Three central themes emerged from qualitative analyses of participants experiences relating to (a) Identity development through group process; (b) Occupation-based learning of self-awareness and cognitive functional strategies and (c) Feedback on group setting and content and relating to advantages and disadvantages of remote (Zoom) format. Conclusion: This study supported Cognitive Functional Remote Group feasibility among adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Quantitative findings point to the responsiveness of quality-of-life measures. Qualitative findings suggest gains in identity development, awareness and acquisition of cognitive functional strategies through occupation-based learning in a telerehabilitation group therapy format. Further controlled studies are warranted.

“…Applications of visual methodologies have offered unique ways to engage people from marginalised communities, and to challenge norms where these may impede recovery or the mental health of members of these communities (Colucci & Bhui, 2015;Diocera & Colucci, in press). There has also been an increase over this period in arts-based and participatory studies focusing specifically on mental health recovery (Casey & Webb, 2019;Doroud et al, 2021;LaMarre & Rice, 2016;Milasan et al, 2020;Petros et al, 2016;Vansteenkiste et al, 2021;Whitley et al, 2021). Scholars suggest these approaches draw on the narrative properties of creating art, and that the process of art-making itself in various forms can be both meaningful to participants, and help to illuminate stories of lived experience in more complex and multidimensional ways than possible through wordbased narratives alone (Casey & Webb, 2019;Gubrium et al, 2014).…”

Lived experience research related to mental health recovery is advancing, but there remains a lack of narrative material from the perspectives of people from under-represented, non-dominant cultural backgrounds in this domain. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of mental health recovery in people of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds in the Australian context. The current study involved a secondary analysis of audio and visual data collected during the digital storytelling project Finding our way in Melbourne, Australia. Thematic analysis was used to understand the lived experience narratives of nine participants in relation to mental health recovery. Five themes were identified through an iterative process of analysis, including Newfound opportunities and care, Family as key motivators and facilitators, Coping and generativity, Cultivating self-understanding and resilience, and Empowerment through social engagement. First person lived experience narratives offer deep insight into understanding the ways in which individuals of marginalised communities conceptualise and embody recovery. These findings further the literature and understanding on how to better serve the needs of people with mental health challenges from CALD communities through informed knowledge of what may be helpful to, and meaningful in, individuals’ recoveries.
