Abstract
As rates of substance use and mental disorders continue to rise, individuals with mental health and substance use challenges and their supporters could benefit from practical, accessible, cost-effective, wellness-focused tools outlining simple daily strategies to promote long-term recovery. The current article describes such a tool, the Journey to Wellness Guide, based on the Wellness Model, and developed through a co-production process. Co-production refers to a process of research, service design, and educational materials development where people with lived experience of mental health and/or substance use challenges share decision-making power throughout all stages of production, including the sharing of results. The co-production process resulted in a well-received wellness tool and tip guides for personal use, supporting others, and use in a group context. The value of this tool for psychosocial nursing and behavioral health care worker self-care and practice is outlined. [Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 61(9), 24-30.].
