Making Recovery Real - Learning and training in recovery |
|
Date recorded: 26 February 2009 There is a real desire in Scotland for opportunities around learning and training in recovery. This session offered a chance to learn about and discuss recent developments in learning and training around recovery in Scotland. It features presentations from:
Recovery training for mental health workers: A national perspective Allison Alexander, Napier University This presentation describes the work of a joint NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and Scottish Recovery Network (SRN) project undertaken between 2006 and 2008. As well as providing the background to the project the presentation focuses on the development of Realising Recovery: A National Framework for Learning and Training in Recovery Focused Practice and the accompanying Realising Recovery Learning Materials. The presentation also illustrates how this recovery training relates to other national mental health initiatives. Finally the presentation offers some thoughts on the role that education and training can play in bringing about recovery focused practice and will identify other factors that may also need to be present to enable mental health workers, mental health services and people who use mental health services to embrace recovery. ____________________________________________________________________________ ESC and Realising Recovery training: A unique journey Dawn MacKay, Health in Mind This presentation focuses on how Health in Mind and Penumbra have developed and delivered a training infrastructure that supports values based and recovery focussed mental health practice, where the ultimate aim is to improve peoples’ experience of using mental health services. This presentation looks at the unique journey of our core team and the participants - focusing on how the experience built on strengths and maximised opportunities for raising self awareness. ____________________________________________________________________________ Recovery training in Tayside Leslie Dickson, Perth and Kinross Council The presentation focuses mostly on some of the content from the four day recovery training offered in Tayside. It is largely experiential and reflective and aims to enhance self awareness and increase understanding of recovery. |
