Our poem explores the idea of family as a concept and an experience. We created our poem through a combination of discussion and reflection on how our understanding of family has been shaped by our journey together. We pulled meaningful statements from recorded conversations, discussed our choices, and created our poem. Over the course of 5 years our connection has resulted in what we call a “found family”; bound by shared values and experiences in which hope has become possible. In creating this poem, we explore our experiences of“recovery to discovery”. Our poem reveals the possibilities for, and challenges in, creating a sense of belonging akin to family within a group home setting. We share, in our own words (using different fonts to identify our unique voices), our thoughts about key factors such as trust, comfort and belonging that reveal pathways to emotional and spiritual growth as individuals and together. We’ve got each other’s backs is a celebration of“found family”.  \nRésumé  \nCette publication fondée sur l’art reflète les perspectives de David, s’identifiant lui-même comme une personne en situation de handicap « qui fait face à des défis de compréhension et desanté mentale », sa mère Shari, et Stephen, l’aidant formel de David au sein d’une « ressource de type familial » . Notre poème explore l’idée de la famille en tant que concept et en tant qu’expérience. Nous avons créé un poème à travers une combinaison de discussion et deréflexions sur comment notre compréhension de la famille a été façonnée par notre parcours commun. Nous avons extrait des passages significatifs à partir de conversations enregistrées, avons discuté de nos choix, et avons créé notre poème. Au cours des cinq dernières années, notre alliance a évolué en ce que nous appelons une « famille trouvée » ; liée par des valeurs et des expériences partagées à travers laquelle l’espoir est devenu possible. En créant ce poème, nous réfléchissons à notre expérience, en passant de la « réadaptation » à « l’exploration » . Notre poème révèle les possibilités et les défis de créer, au sein d’un foyer de groupe, un sentiment d’appartenance semblable à celui d’une famille. Nous partageons, dans nos propres mots (en utilisant différents styles de polices pour identifier nos voix uniques), nos réflexions à propos des facteurs fondamentaux tels que la confiance, le confort et l’appartenance, qui révèlent destrajectoires de croissance émotionnelle et spirituelle à la fois personnelles et collectives. « On se serre les coudes » est une célébration de la « famille trouvée » .  \nMots-clés : handic","cbCaifDy2uyfhNpe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifDy2uyfhNpe","pdf",355611,1,9,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Co-creation and methodological approach\n## Found poetry and the idea of family","[{\"question\":\"Who are the contributors and what perspectives do they offer in the poem?\",\"answer\":\"The submission includes David, his mom Shari, and Stephen, David’s formal caregiver in a “family type resource.” Their voices guide how family is understood and experienced.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the poem created?\",\"answer\":\"The authors used discussion and reflection, then selected meaningful statements from recorded conversations.
