Duing winter 2009/2010 SRN will be embarking on a series of local events throughout Scotland. The purpose of these events is to raise awareness about recovery, to encourage action locally, to develop SRNs own learning about mental health and recovery, and to expand the network. Our first stop will be in Caithness on 01 December 2009. In 2010 we will also be visiting Oban (Feburary) and Stranraer (March). Official dates for these two events are too be confirmed. More details about these events (including how to register) will be made available in the coming weeks via the website and update.
