One way SRN is working to increase wellbeing and recovery is by sharing and developing tools like WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Planning), and we have recently developed and published a WRAP leaflet, which you can view/download in PDF format. WRAP is a ‘self-management’ tool used in many countries around the world to help individuals take more control over their own wellbeing and recovery; recognising that people are the experts on themselves. It was initially developed in the US by Mary Ellen Copeland, together with a group of people who had lived experience of mental health problems. This leaflet is intended for people who are interested in learning more about developing their own Wellness Recovery Action Plan, and also for the family members, friends, professionals (and others) supporting them. If you have any questions after reading this leaflet, or would like to receive a hard copy, please contact us on 0141 240 7790 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We would be happy to help or, at the very least, direct you to the person who can. |
| 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. |
