One of the newest stories on the SRN website is from Duncan Davison, which focuses on the positive impact of peer employment training as part of his recovery journey. This milestone in his recovery provided Duncan the experience of learning and healing as part of a group of individuals with experience of mental health issues. Chrys Muirhead has also recently updated her story. She originally submitted her recovery thoughts via the 'Submit your thoughts' form on the SRN website in 2005. Three years on and Chrys brings her recovery story up-to-date and also revisits the past to make sense of the present. Wee Mo also shares her story of mental health recovery; her experiences of peer support in both hospital and the community, the support of reliable trustworthy professionals who took time to listen, and the importance of loved ones on her recovery journey.
