: According to Slade's Personal Recovery Framework, mental health recovery involves developing a positive identity, reframing experiences, developing self-management and valued social roles.: This study explored how developing a personal narrative can support mental health recovery through reframing and developing a more positive identity. This paper provides an overview of the study's three phases and the resultant Personal Narrative Workshop Programme.: Phase 1 involved developing and analysing my own recovery narrative using autoethnography. Phase 2 used Participatory Action Research (PAR) to explore the experience of other service users, with co-researchers recruited to two focus groups. Six co-researchers continued into Phase 3 (three cycles of PAR) to develop the workshop programme.: An eight-session workshop programme was co-produced and fully documented. Developing a narrative is not benign: it can involve reliving trauma; and dealing with the 'voice of others' in our narratives can be difficult. As a result, the workshop programme aimed to provide a supportive environment, promoting collaboration and validation. Methodological issues resulted from the complexities of using a PAR approach, and on the multiplicity of roles for the researcher.
根据斯莱德的个人康复框架，心理健康康复涉及发展积极的身份认同、重新构建经验、发展自我管理和有价值的社会角色。本研究探讨了如何通过重新构建和建立更积极的身份认同来发展个人叙事，以支持心理健康康复。本文概述了研究的三个阶段和由此产生的个人叙事工作坊计划。第一阶段涉及使用自传体民族志来发展和分析我自己的康复叙事。第二阶段使用参与行动研究 (PAR) 来探索其他服务使用者的体验，招募了两名共同研究人员参加两个焦点小组。六名共同研究人员继续进入第三阶段（三轮 PAR），以开发工作坊计划。一个八节的工作坊计划是共同制作和全面记录的。发展叙事并非无害：它可能涉及重温创伤；处理我们叙事中的“他人之声”可能很困难。因此，工作坊计划旨在提供一个支持性的环境，促进协作和验证。使用 PAR 方法的复杂性以及研究人员的多重角色导致了方法学问题。
