Deepening Partnerships through Co-Leadership: Integrating First Voice Perspectives into the Recreation for Mental Health (R4MH) Project.

CONCLUSION: Initial strategies related to the project's overall direction and research activities culminated in shared dissemination activities that fostered co-leadership. This co-leadership created the opportunity to intentionally discuss the challenges and facilitators of partnerships between people with First Voice experience and researchers throughout the project. SIGNIFICANCE: This intentional process of exploring multiple perspectives bridged notions of 'us' and 'them', cultivating a sense of solidarity across shared experiences of exclusion and agency. Key principles related to relationships, multiple identities, and power-sharing are synthesized. PMID: 30280613 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
