The journey into healership: Chiron the Wounded Healer and Recovery in Mental Health

Abstract

This article explores recovery within mental health as a journey of healership, one in which we are all engaged in healing our own wounds. It recounts the author's personal journey with the question ‘What is the journey into healership?’ and her research with four co‐researchers who work as recovery guides in a crisis house in North Birmingham. It explores the wider implications for service development and the training of mental health professionals.
