The Scottish Recovery Network and NHS Education for Scotland (NES) are delighted to launch new and innovative learning materials designed to help mental health workers better support recovery. The Realising Recovery learning materials are the result of a unique partnership which has allowed for the development of new materials informed throughout directly from the experience of people in recovery. Developed as a result of Rights, Relationships and Recovery – The National Review of Mental Health Nursing in Scotland, the six modules encourage new ways of working within mental health and promote a new culture, marked by a commitment to helping people recover satisfying and fulfilling lives, no matter how serious or long-term their experience of mental health problems. To find out more about this exciting new resource please visit our Realising Recovery page. |
