This book brings together two bodies of knowledge - wellbeing and recovery. Wellbeing and ''positive'' approaches are increasingly influencing many areas of society. Recovery in mental illness has a growing empirical evidence base. For the first time overlaps and cross-fertilisation opportunities between the two bodies of knowledge are identified. International experts present innovations taking place within the mental health system which include wellbeing-informed new therapies e-health approaches and peer-led recovery communities. State-of-the-art applications of wellbeing to the wider community are also described across education employment parenting and city planning. This book will be of interest to anyone connected with the mental health system especially people using and working in services and clinical and administrators leaders and those interested in using research from the mental health system in the wider community.
