Assessing the Role of Support Systems in Recovery from Mental Health Emergencies

Abstract This paper investigates how formal and informal support systems influence recovery following mental health emergencies, defined as acute episodes posing imminent risk to individuals or others. Recognizing that recovery extends beyond symptom reduction to encompass social reintegration, empowerment, and sustained well‐being, the study first conducted a systematic literature review of empirical and theoretical work published since 2018. Using keywords related to crisis recovery, peer support, family involvement, and professional services, the review identified four primary support domains: mobile crisis teams, family psychoeducation, peer‐led interventions, and community‐based models. Extracted data were subjected to thematic analysis, revealing key quantitative outcomes such as 25% reductions in emergency department visits and 20% decreases in hospitalization with mobile crisis teams, and 20% lower relapse rates with family psychoeducation. Qualitative patterns highlight the central roles of continuity of care, belonging, empowerment, and system fragmentation in shaping recovery narratives. The findings of the paper demonstrate that though professional responders effectively address immediate safety, long‐term stability relies heavily on coordinated family, peer, and community resources. However, service gaps and inconsistent integration often undermine sustainable outcomes. Based on these insights, the paper recommends that stakeholders within this domain should develop integrated care pathways that ensure seamless handoffs, shared data platforms linking crisis teams to peer and family support, and expanded training for caregivers and peer workers.
