Making Recovery Real, SRN’s national conference 2009, has attracted record bookings with over 450 people applying to attend. We will be working hard to accommodate as many of those people as possible, but can no longer take submissions as the waiting list for this event now contains over 100 people. If you have applied for a place, and have not been told you are on the waiting list, you should get a confirmation letter within the next two weeks. If you booked a place but are no longer able to attend then we urge you to let us know so that someone else can take your place. We are pleased to report that we will be recording and sharing audio from the event, as well as posting presentations on our website to ensure that people who can’t make it can share some of the learning from the event. The afternoon will be given over to 12 parallel sessions on a broad range of relevant subjects. Each session will feature a number of presentations with opportunities for question and discussion. There are over 40 contributors to these sessions including:

| New SRN research explores the experience of recovery over time |
16 May Since the first discussions about bringing recovery based approaches to Scotland began, one thing has always been clear: that people's personal narratives - the stories and experiences they share - are central to understanding and encouraging mental health recovery. |
| 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 |
16 May Having recently facilitated Learning Networks on the use of the updated Scottish Recovery Indicator (SRI 2), SRN’s John McCormack was keen to hear from practitioners about their use of the tool and how it affects practice in the field. Here John shares his discussions with Lindsay Kerr and Jan Thomson who both work in NHS Ayrshire and Arran’s Mental Health Services. |
