Implementing culturally appropriate recovery approaches in mental health services: perspectives from the Irish Traveller community
This study demonstrates that implementing a recovery approach for Travellers requires a reorientation of services, in line with Travellers' definition of culturally appropriate mental healthcare. This study calls for an expanded mandate for mental health services beyond individual care and towards intersectoral action in addressing the social determinants of Travellers' mental health. This will help to shape an equitable and inclusive healthcare setting that promotes Travellers' mental health and recovery.
