Making Recovery Real - Conference films

 PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 04 June 2009

We are pleased to announce the release of films from the SRN Making Recovery Real conference held in February 2009.

 

At the event, we had a film crew on hand to speak with conference delegates and presenters about various recovery related topics and to capture the morning presentations from keynote speaker Mary O’Hagan and Network Director Simon Bradstreet.

The film clips provide us with a visual record of this successful event and will hopefully remind those who attended of the day’s events, as well as provide an opportunity for those who were unable to attend to hear view points and presentations shared on the day.

There are three short films which feature conference delegates and presenters talking about:

  • What does recovery mean to you?
  • How do you stay well?
  • Thoughts on SRN

Please note that you may have trouble viewing these videos online if you have a slow connection or older computer. You may also need to make sure that you have the latest version of Flash running on your computer - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Tip: The videos can be viewed full screen by clicking on the expand button in the bottom right hand corner of the video window.


 

The final two films are of the morning session presentations given by keynote speaker Mary O’Hagan and Network Director Simon Bradstreet.

 

Please be patient - as these videos are about 20 minutes in length, they may take more than a few minutes to completely load and you may need to pause the video until it has finished loading to avoid the video stopping and starting during playback.
