On 9th October 2007 SRN officially launched the findings from the narrative research project entitled ‘Recovering Mental Health in Scotland’ at a national event in Glasgow. The research draws on the experiences of 64 people across Scotland to highlight factors that helped and hindered their recovery from long-term mental health problems. Following the national launch we hosted a series of local event across Scotland in Dumfries, Dundee, Inverness, Aberdeen and Edinburgh to more widely disseminate the research.
