- Offers a 'hopeful epistemology' not typically found in mental
health-related research
- Interrogates neo-liberal dogma that defines people with mental
health problems as active social citizens wholly responsible for
their own recoveries and acceptance
- Brings to the fore the voices, lives, capacities and
difficulties of people with mental health problems
- Imaginatively differentiates rural, urban, interest and
technological communities, disrupting familiar and conventional
accounts of social inclusion and 'the local'
- Demonstrates how people with mental health problems are active in re-scripting their own social recoveries through their use and understanding of different social spaces
