Are you currently a service user in the mental health services in Clackmannanshire? Or have you attended services during the last 5 years? A new research project would welcome your views. Helen Creegan, Research project Officer elaborates: "We would welcome your views in a project which is just starting. Our aim is to find ways in which we can show whether the mental health services in Clackmannanshire improve your mental well-being. This is their purpose, and it is vital that we have this information in order to drive change in the services if necessary. Yet currently this information is not being adequately collected and used. As a service user I do have a vested interest in this! But I can't succeed without your help. You are the experts because you are the only ones who can say whether your mental health has improved through attending services, and what the evidence is for this. "Involvement can range from attending workshops to completing questionnaires or attending a one-off meeting. We will be flexible to allow you to have input into the process in a way which suits you." For more information please contact Helen Creegan, details shown below.

| New SRN research explores the experience of recovery over time |

| Black women, recovery and resilience |
16 May In a specially commissioned article for SRN, researcher and psychiatric survivor Dr Jayasree Kalathil explores the issues of recovery and resilience from the perspective of black women interviewed for a 2011 study by Survivor Research and the Mental Health Foundation. While the article focuses on recent data from England, there are important lessons to be learnt everywhere, including Scotland. |
| What mental health practitioners talk about, when they talk about SRI 2 |
