In April and May 2005, SRN travelled around Scotland gathering people’s experiences of recovery from long-term mental health problems.  We are delighted that the learning from the 2005 Narrative Research Project has been used extensively to promote and support recovery, from publications to training materials. Now, five years on, we are keen to revisit this project to further develop our understanding of recovery.We would like to hear from those who participated in the original Narrative Research Project to learn about your experiences since. If you are interested in taking part in the Narrative Research Project Revisited, we can provide a full briefing and arrange a suitable time and place to meet. All reasonable expenses will be reimbursed, lunch will be provided, and participants will be remunerated with a £25 gift token. SRN have commissioned independent researchers Sue Cowan and Jennie Guise to undertake this new research on our behalf. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Lucy Mulvagh for an information pack by email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We would also appreciate your help in getting news of this opportunity to anyone you think may have been involved in the original project in 2005. |
