“…This supports other research demonstrating the value of peer facilitated groups in encouraging people's active engagement in their recovery (Boevink et al, 2016;Cook et al, 2012;Li et al, 2014;van Gestel-Timmermans et al, 2012). Khoury (2020) recently suggested the Recovery model is compatible with early intervention services, so long as staff attend to the importance of developmental processes, hope and community.…”

“…Similar to findings from peer‐run services (Austin et al, 2014 ), YPWs who were working, studying and moving out of the family home embodied, for participants, the possibility of “having a life.” This supports other research demonstrating the value of peer facilitated groups in encouraging people's active engagement in their recovery (Boevink et al, 2016 ; Cook et al, 2012 ; Li et al, 2014 ; van Gestel‐Timmermans et al, 2012 ). Khoury ( 2020 ) recently suggested the Recovery model is compatible with early intervention services, so long as staff attend to the importance of developmental processes, hope and community. The use of YPWs within a group does just this.…”

Aim Groups facilitated by peer workers have been shown to be effective in improving recovery‐related outcomes in adult populations. However, limited research has explored the involvement of peer workers in groups in youth mental health services. This qualitative study aimed to explore young people's experiences of participating in groups co‐facilitated by youth peer workers and clinicians. Methods Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 13 young people aged 15–25 years who had attended groups conducted in‐person and online at a tertiary youth mental health service. Young people were receiving individual support through the service for a range of mental health concerns. Groups were conducted by two clinicians and a youth peer worker who had used the same service and had undergone training in Intentional Peer Support®. An inductive approach using open, process, in vivo and pattern coding was used to identify key themes. Concept mapping was used to explore the relationships between them. Results Nine overarching themes were identified that highlighted the unique and complementary contributions of youth peer worker and clinician roles. The sharing of lived experience by youth peer workers facilitated young people's engagement in group discussions, hope for the future, and sense of belonging, whereas clinical input created a sense of safety, structure and purpose. Conclusions These findings support the value of a co‐facilitation model in improving the engagement and recovery outcomes for young people experiencing mental health challenges.

“…With this in mind, designing flexible and adaptable care when young people are in need of it can be seen as important. In addition, young people's networks often need to raise their awareness of their own self-understanding of what the young person is dealing with (Khoury, 2020). It is an advantage thereof if the young person's network is able to contribute positively to this process with patience and confidence, and knowledge of what a recovery process generally looks like.…”

Background: Recovery from mental illness and mental health problems is relatively well-researched among adults, but evidence that focuses on the recovery experiences of young people and what characterizes it is scarce. With this in mind, this article aims to map out the existing research in order to identify prevailing knowledge about the recovery of young people between the ages of 12 and 25. Method: Drawing on scoping review methodology, this article is based on an analysis of 33 articles conducted in the USA, Australia, and Europe. Results: Our findings reveal that young people express both similar and divergent lines of reasoning about recovery compared with adults. Our findings also indicate that young people often fluctuate in the way they view recovery, and that they thus tend to be ambivalent about what recovery means. Parents usually highlight the importance of professionals facilitating recovery, while care staff problematize the organizational frameworks available as aggravating circumstances for implementing personal recovery. Young people, parents, and care staff consistently describe recovery as a way to, despite lingering problems, enable a satisfying life. Conclusions: Through this review, we outline the need for a more distinct focus on agency and participation in young people's recovery processes, at the same time as family involvement needs to be further investigated and operationalized. Key Practitioner Message• Recovery theory is a prevalent model of mental health. Though recovery itself remains a core component in mental health literature, it is seldom found in child and adolescent psychiatry. • Agency and participation are suggested as important factors to attend to for practitioners working with young people's mental health. • The family's involvement in the recovery process seems to be unclear, meaning that more attention is needed as to how families become significant and what is considered to contribute to recovery within the immediate network. • To make the recovery process more concrete, further research on young people's recovery is needed and especially their subjective experiences of it.

Co-Production within Child and Adolescent Mental Health: A Systematic Review

Background: Mental health services are currently experiencing much systemic and organisational change. Many countries have adopted a recovery approach to service provision through the development of national policies and frameworks. Within an Irish context, co-production has been identified as one of the four pillars required for services to become recovery orientated. However, there is a paucity of literature relating to the concept within child and adolescent mental health services. This paper aims to synthesise the peer-reviewed evidence on co-production within such services. Methods: A PRISMA compliant systematic review was undertaken. This includes how the reviewer retrieved, shortlisted, and selected studies for inclusion in the review. It outlines the inclusion/exclusion criteria and how these were further developed through the PICO framework. Finally, the methods also outline how the reviewer assessed bias and quality, as well as the process of data synthesis. Results: Two studies were included in this review, both focusing on co-production, but in different contexts within child and adolescent mental health. Two themes were identified: ‘road less travelled’ and ‘co-producing equality’. These themes and the associated sub-themes describe how co-production works in these services. Discussion: These results highlight the paucity of quality literature in co-production within child and adolescent mental health. Both studies scored poorly in terms of quality. Resulting from this review, a number of actions relating to the therapeutic environment need to be taken into account for co-production to be further implemented. Other: The reviewer has not received any funding for this paper. A protocol was not created or registered for this review.
