Abstract：
:Living through postpartum depression (PPD) might lead women to seek a variety of support to re-establish their well-being, including a hybrid of traditional and non-traditional services. Within this mix, some women participate in peer groups; however, there is a paucity of research regarding their subjective experiences of engaging in this type of support. The purpose of this study was to describe how women talked about living through PPD in the context of a peer support group. This focused ethnography was a component of a larger participatory action study in northern Ontario, Canada. The seven members of a 5-week peer support group described their postpartum experiences through written, visual, and spoken stories. Using structural narrative analysis, stories about recovery were identified across the data. Three groups of recovery stories were labelled as illness, mothering wisdom, and mobilizing. The findings suggested that women actively sought and established a therapeutic space for PPD recovery with peers. As such, health-care providers are encouraged to acknowledge the merits and advocate for the multiple and diverse alliances women might require to actualize recovery.
