This included to which factors young people attributed changes in their hopefulness and the role played by professionals and others with lived experience. Method: Ten young people recovering from an experience of psychosis were interviewed using narrative methodology. Results: The experience of hope as an overarching strand throughout the narratives had three common elements: sense of belonging, which included social inclusion, the importance of information and the significance of planning and occupation. Professionals played an important role in facilitating small steps forwards. Conclusions: The findings suggest the importance to young people of a sense of belonging and achieving small goals to facilitate hopeful thinking and, for clinicians, the value of supporting new peer relationships and meaningful occupation.
