O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo explorar o que caracteriza a liderança em pessoas com experiência de doença mental. Neste estudo, privilegia-se a experiência individual de cada participante sobre o seu percurso e vivências, procurando entender o que envolve a inclusão destas pessoas em papéis de liderança.
O objetivo do estudo é dar voz à experiência individual destes indivíduos, privilegiando as narrativas individuais de cada um. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo que tem como base uma investigação colaborativa, em que foi utilizado a análise temática para estudar e conhecer o que caracteriza a experiência de liderança e o impacto que tem sobre os próprios, assim como a mudança que traz a nível da sociedade e o caminho que falta percorrer para criar mais oportunidades de liderança. Utilizou-se como instrumento de recolha de dados um guião de entrevista semiestruturada, construído de forma colaborativa com os participantes através de várias sessões com um focus group.
Conclui-se com este estudo que a liderança é caracterizada por parcerias colaborativas que permitem o envolvimento e partilha de poder, tendo um impacto positivo com foco na valorização e crescimento pessoal que permite alterar a visão da sociedade sobre estas pessoas. O futuro da liderança depende do investimento na formação das pessoas com experiência de doença mental e inclusão das mesmas a nível de serviços de saúde e comunidade.
