Abstract

Personal recovery represents a paradigm shift in how individuals are seen to benefit from mental health interventions, from a narrow view of symptom reduction to a holistic, multi-dimensional view of well-being, functional gains and rehabilitation. Although there is a large body of evidence supporting the use of recovery-oriented care in adults, research on personal recovery amongst youth with mental health concerns is an emerging area of research. Efforts to promote youth mental health have also focussed on the use of digital applications and platforms as a means of overcoming barriers related to factors including stigma and lack of available services. This systematic review aims to review the literature on existing internet-based, youth mental health interventions with regard to (a) identifying elements of the programs that align with the personal recovery and (b) outcome measures utilised in assessing personal recovery. Eleven papers were identified that met the inclusion criteria. Five of the programs reviewed from these eleven papers showed efficacy for recovery processes. The results offer preliminary support and guidance for the use of internet-based mental health interventions in the promotion of personal recovery amongst youth. Future research and practice are suggested to further develop understanding in this area.<br />Competing Interests: The author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship and/or publication of this article.<br /> (© The Author(s) 2022.)
