Why we did the Research

We wanted to provide evidence to improve mental health services around the following:

• what quality care coordination looks like,
• what recovery means to different stakeholders and finally,
• what is the relationship between recovery and care coordination.

Central to this work is that the process of undertaking the research was an important outcome in itself. We have therefore developed both a set of values for conducting such research and a series of reflections on the research in the form of poems written by one of the researchers and videos of the researchers talking about doing the research.
