Abstract
What is known on the subject?
Lived experience narratives of recovery can provide an insight and subtlety where academic papers can often fall short. There is a need for people who work in mental health services to address and take care of their own psychosocial needs.
What the paper adds to existing knowledge?
This paper provides a unique insight into a care professional's recovery from mental ill health. Looked at through this dual lens of service user and care professional provide the reader with a rich narrative from the perspective of both sides of the caring role.
What are the implications for practice?
People who work in caring roles need to be vigilant of their own needs and the impact that the work can have on them. Safety protocol for managing one's own mental health should be a requirement for people within the caring profession.
