A regular website item focusing on key SRN resources. SRN’s 2009 national conference 'Making Recovery Real' involved 450 delegates including contributions from over 60 people in 12 sessions on a variety of topics. In an effort to share the information with those who were not able to attend the event and to ensure we had a record of the sessions, we made audio recordings of each presentation and made them available on our website along with pdfs of powerpoint presentations (if available). The recordings cover a variety of topics, including personal perspectives on recovery; service and practice development; and wellness planning, and will be of use to anyone with an interest in recovery-related developments across Scotland. Of particular interest will be the audio downloads from the session ‘World of Work: A discussion', which complement our latest article series around work and money. In this session, Chris White talks openly about his experience of becoming unwell and his recovery journey back into full-time work, touching on some complex issues, including the effect of welfare reforms. Sylvia Collumb offers a service provider perspective and gives an overview of the work in Glasgow to develop a Mental Health/Recovery Employability pathway. Other sessions include: Carers and informal supporters and recovery Communicating recovery Experience of Local Recovery Networks Learning and Training in Recovery Piloting Peer Support Recovery and black and minority ethnic communities Recovery focussed systems and practice Service User movement: Involvement into leadership Sharing stories and experience Staying well – discussions about wellness planning Using the Scottish Recovery Indicator to support good practice Audio recordings that may be of particular interest: “Who am I now?” – Tricia Burnet 10 years since first sharing her recovery story, Tricia talks about how her story and her feelings of sharing it have changed (From ‘Sharing stories and experience’) What is a Peer Support Worker? – Lea Cummings, Peer Support worker Lea talks about his experiences as a Peer Support worker, some of the challenges he’s faced, and how the Peer Support approach works in practice(From ‘Piloting Peer Support’) Supporting Recovery: Family, informal carers and supporters – Hester Parr, University of Glasgow Prior to starting this project, Hester was invited to offer an overview to the background and methodology of the small-scale ‘Supporting Recovery’ research project commissioned by SRN.

SRN has produced, commissioned and collected a wide range of stories, reports, information booklets, discussion papers, films and audio recordings. All are intended to be used freely and distributed widely. Please encourage colleagues, friends and family to explore the resources section of our website, or download our publications list.
