title: Recovery in community: using participatory action research to explore recovery with alternatives.
abstract: In Ontario, many people are calling for recovery to become the overarching philosophy and goal of the mental health system. Mental health service organizations are key to promoting recovery, but relatively little has been done to understand what recovery means at the organizational level. This paper describes the context, conduct, and findings of a participatory action research project designed to explore recovery in Alternatives, an organization in Toronto providing mental health services.
