And I think that that's the same true with psychiatric disabilities- is that you know, regardless, it takes a special person to be able to translate their own experience in a way that's meaningful to someone else.
Ever wondered what recovery looks like for someone living with a psychiatric disability? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Elizabeth Carpenter-Song, a medical and psychological anthropologist, to shed light on this very topic. Elizabeth brings her wealth of research experience from Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center and Howard University to the table, sharing profound insights into the lives of individuals navigating severe mental illness in Washington, D.C.
Elizabeth dives into her qualitative study on the impact of recovery-oriented, supported independent housing on people's sense of recovery. She also discusses her new ethnographic study focusing on parents with severe mental illness and their children, exploring how family life shapes their understanding and experience of disability and recovery. Through these stories, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the importance of supportive environments and community-based settings. What sets this episode apart is its focus on real, lived experiences.
Elizabeth's research highlights the value of being close to others who share similar struggles, emphasizing that recovery is not just a personal journey but a communal one. The conversation also looks ahead to the future of recovery-oriented services, suggesting that things are moving in a positive direction. Whether you're personally affected by psychiatric disabilities or simply interested in understanding more about mental health recovery, this episode offers a compassionate and enlightening perspective.
Tune in to hear Elizabeth Carpenter-Song's findings and reflections, and come away with a renewed sense of empathy and hope.
