People who experience mental health problems and those around them should expect recovery. The values and principles which underpin the recovery experience should form the basis of how, as a society, we approach mental health issues.
SRN’s role
Our role in achieving this vision is to act as a catalyst for change by sharing ideas and practice to promote recovery from long-term mental health problems, improving outcomes at all levels.
Our aims are:
- To raise awareness of recovery from mental health problems, in particular longer term problems.
- To learn more about the recovery experience, and the factors which help and hinder it, and to share that learning.
- Share ideas and encourage and support action nationally and locally for the promotion of recovery.
SRN is entirely funded by the Scottish Government but its paid staff are employed by the voluntary sector organisation, Penumbra. This means that the Network is autonomous from, but supported by, the Government. Our work is overseen by a Strategy Group and is underpinned by the lived experience of people who have experienced mental health issues and recovery.
