Summary

Almost all mental healthcare treatments of depression focus on symptomatic recovery. However, such recovery does not inherently mean that personal recovery is reached. In fact, many persons still experience functional impairments after symptomatic recovery. As this has a negative influence on daily life, a new blended module (STAIRS) was developed to promote personal recovery in persons that are in the final stage of symptomatic recovery from depression. The current study will investigate the efficacy of STAIRS, by adding STAIRS to care as usual and comparing it with care as usual. It is hypothesized that STAIRS will have a positive effect on personal recovery and that this effect is larger than in the control group.

BEHAVIORAL

Storytelling and Training to Advance Individual Recovery Skills (STAIRS)

STAIRS is a 8-week program, in which 8 different themes are addressed. Coverage of each theme starts with a group meeting guided by a professional and expert by experience. In these meetings different exercises are done (e.g., filling out an actual and desired week-schedule, role-playing a difficult situation), information is given and experiences are shared. Between meetings, participants can choose from a range of homework exercises to practice their desired skills in a tailored way. In addition, participants can share experiences with the other group members and exchange reactions using a private online community.
