Stories of success: Mental health service users’ experiences of social inclusion in Aotearoa New Zealand

Stories of Success focuses on the stories and experiences of services users who have experienced social inclusion, using them as a platform to further challenge stigma and discrimination. The people with lived experience who were participants in this project have described their starting place for social inclusion as a feeling or perception that it is a genuine possibility, and told of their increased sense of personal power and improved contribution to their relationships and communities.
