This article offers a critical analysis of service user involvement in social work by exploring the modern history of its development. It does this by examining: a) the increasing pressures for more democratic politics and societies during the course of the twentieth century, making connections between efforts to widen suffrage and extend individual and collective rights; the development of representative and participatory democracy and, the emergence of new social movements, including those based on identity and relations with welfare, and b) the impacts on and relations of these with social work. It charts four key stages in the development of user involvement in social work specifically and public policy more generally, exploring by reference to the UK as a case study and international experience, both obstacles in the way of inclusive and effective user involvement and ways in which it seems to be being advanced more effectively.

Educational activities and support for volunteers in the self-help movement of people with the experience of mental illness. The example of The Support Group TROP
 
The formation of self-help movements and support groups for mentally ill people has initiated changes in social attitude towards them and in mental health  treatment system. In Poland, such initiatives are still in the initial phase of creation, there are only a few such groups. Self-help groups in general provide support by sharing emotions and a sense of understanding connected to experiencing similar problems. One of the most important functions of self-help groups is spreading reliable knowledge about specificity of mental disorders and the recovery process. Educating through direct contact with a mentally ill person is associated with a better understanding of them, as well as a lower level of stigmatizing convictions. One of the examples of a resilient self-help group is the Support Group TROP which is working in Warsaw. Its members conduct numerous educational activities that constitute a significant part of the Groups activity. These activities include lectures for pupils, students, and organizations, presentations at conferences or appearances in the media. From the beginning of TROP Group existence, all activities have been supported by volunteers – psychology students. Volunteers through non-paid work can deepen knowledge about the functioning of self-help movement and the situation of mentally ill people, and at the same time support group members in several initiatives. Volunteers have become a permanent and very important part of all implemented projects. Members of TROP describe volunteers as allies.

In permanently introducing this new section to our periodical, we wish to call the reader’s attention to a unique approach we are consciously taking. In a desire to identify impending foci in our field, we have invited the youngest of our colleagues – MA and PhD candidates in social work – to act as our reviewers. Furthermore, considering the vast multitude of scholarly articles published annually, we have asked our students to primarily focus on this segment which is more likely to reflect the most recent findings. That said, we have not set a strict date range in the hope that our reviewers will freely discover or recover studies which might have been overlooked heretofore.
