Tuesday, 02 December 2008
Already our national conference 2009 is proving popular with considerable interest. We are delighted that we will be joined at Making Recovery Real by international consultant and recovery activist, Mary O'Hagan. Mary will provide the keynote speech and contribute to one of 12 parallel sessions at the event on 26th February in Perth.

Mary was for a number of years a Commissioner with the New Zealand Mental Health Commission where she was highly influential in supporting efforts to introduce recovery focused services and systems. She now works as an independent consultant and advisor. Recent work has included development of a new visioning document, Destination Recovery (PDF), on behalf of the Mental Health Advocacy Coalition in New Zealand.

During her time in Scotland Mary will be working with a number of projects and groups to offer support and guidance on a consultancy basis. For more background on Mary and her work see her website.

There are a limited number of places available for Making Recovery Real. We are especially keen to welcome people with lived experience of mental health issues and recovery.

UPDATE 17/12/2008 - PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED. If you wish to be added to the waiting list for this conference, please still submit a booking form.
