Throughout 2007, Outside the Box in partnership with the Glasgow Association for Mental Health (GAMH), the Scottish Recovery Network (SRN) and the National Resource Centre for Ethnic Minority Health supported a project in Glasgow, which built on the initial work that had explored what recovery meant to a group of women from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities and began the process of developing a recovery group in Glasgow led by the women involved. Outside the Box have produced a report about the experiences of the group and the things the group have achieved. Over the past year the group have hosted an event to launch a booklet which highlights what recovery means to women in BME communities, and launched a poster and postcard campaign to raise awareness of recovery in their local communities. The group continues to meet and plan ways to take forward the recovery agenda. View/download the BME Recovery Group: Report from the project (PDF). |
