Abstract

Seven women shared recovery experiences from substance use: What adversely affected their lives as well as that which provided strength, resilience and openness to health and wellness. Academically this study exemplified emancipatory nursing practice: A grassroots relational approach promoting women’s health through awareness, self-discovery and ongoing engagement with the community.
