The Lothian Recovery Network is inviting people to register for their recovery workshop programme. The programme has been designed for people with lived experience of mental health problems, and is facilitated by people with lived experience of recovery. The aim is to equip attendees with recovery tools and techniques; to help people develop a support network; and to provide people with a safe space where they can share experiences. The programme comprises a series of five workshops, which take place on Saturdays during April, May and June. Each workshop is free and runs from 10am-2am. There are two opportunities to attend the first workshop in the programme: Saturday 10th April 2010, at the Scottish Health Service Centre, Crewe Road South, Edinburgh AND Saturday 8th May 2010, at the Howden Park Centre in West Lothian To register, contact Sarah Cairns 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. |
| What mental health practitioners talk about, when they talk about SRI 2 |
