Journey of Hope DVD |
|
On Friday, 26th May 2006 the Scottish Recovery Network and Plus Perth hosted the official launch of the film 'Recovery: a Journey of Hope'. The Scottish Recovery Network and PLUS, a mental health service user forum in Perth, worked in partnership to produce a DVD resource about recovery. The main aims of this film are to give hope to people and to help dispel the negative image of mental health problems. It is also used as an awareness raising tool amongst service users, carers and professionals alike. The DVD includes interviews with people recounting their personal stories of recovery. It illustrates a key message that every person is an individual with a right to recover at their own pace and in their own way. The DVD also includes interviews with people who have been involved in the participants' recovery. This helps to highlight how other people and their attitudes can impact on recovery. PLUS works to promote service user involvement in mental health issues.

| Evaluating Recovery in Practice Training |
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. |
