Recovery and resilience in children's mental health: views from the field.
This article explores the questions, "What does recovery mean in the context of children's mental health?" "How do recovery and resilience fit with the system of care values that underpin current transformation efforts in the children's mental health field?" And, "What implications flow from the answers to these questions?" The author details a process designed to gather the perspectives of family members, service providers, administrators, researchers, and advocates, summarizes the results of these discussions, and concludes with recommendations for next steps.
