Reflections on Recovery - Stories shared to inspire hope and promote recovery from mental health problems brings together four personal stories, interwoven with the views of many others around recovery and what recovery means to them. We know that one of the most powerful ways to truly understand recovery from mental health problems is to hear about it from someone who has experienced recovery firsthand. The personal stories in this film show that recovery can and does happen, and can help the viewer understand some of the elements of recovery. A range of perspectives on the experience of recovery are shared in this film. In his story, Pete uses animated graphics to share his experience as a young person of mental health problems and recovery, whereas James shares his experience of recovery from his diagnosis of dementia. Reflections on Recovery was produced by the Lanarkshire Recovery Network, in partnership with SRN and with support from NHS Lanarkshire. It runs for approximately 35 minutes. You can watch the full version or view the individual chapters separately (each chapter is roughly 5–6 minutes long). You can view the entire film or the different stories and chapters separately on our Resource page. For a copy of the DVD please contact us on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

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. |
