After much consideration, it is with great disappointment that we have decided to cancel the ‘Supporting Recovery’ event in Perth on 7th November 2008. The purpose of this event was to learn from informal carers, like family members and friends, about the relationship between their role and the recovery of the people they care for.

16 Jul 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. |
