BME Recovery Group report

Saturday, 12 April 2008
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.

Last year we commissioned Health in Mind and Penumbra to deliver a new training course, aimed at people who worked in the voluntary sector, called Recovery in Practice. Given the nature of this new course we were keen to learn more about how well it had worked so we commissioned an independent evaluation of the training, led by Jacki Gordon + Associates and we are now delighted to publish the findings.
