A good way of making sense of the lived experience of mental illness, is to transform this experience into a constructive asset for redefining and measuring citizenship. This chapter discusses the perspectives of a diverse group of persons in recovery from mental illnesses who were engaged as members of a Co-research Team to perform a series of focus groups with other research participants. The project was about developing a new measure of citizenship and social inclusion. The development of this measure was conducted through a Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) design. CBPR is an approach to research that involves persons of primary interest in all aspects of the process. Co-learning, a strength-based approach, and acknowledgement of privilege and power are hallmarks of CBPR. This chapter is based on focus groups that were held to discuss the benefits and challenges of being involved in CBPR, both personally and for the scientific community. Qualitative analysis points to ways that are helpful in maximizing the engagement and inclusion of persons in recovery through CBPR. Persons with the lived experience of recovery in mental health were fully included in all aspects of this project that led to the creation of a new consumer-led social enterprise.
