Abstract
In England, implementation and adoption of recovery-orientated (RO) practice has been slow and uneven. This qualitative study explored the barriers and enablers to the implementation and adoption of RO practice in community mental health provider organizations. Thirteen registered managers took part in semi-structured interviews. Four themes were identified: RO practice is not an entirely alien concept; RO practice is a labor intensive and skilled activity; Families need to be on onboard with RO support; and Limited community capacity for RO support. The most salient barriers and/or enablers were: staff training, public misconceptions of mental illness, and joint-working with families.
