Making Recovery Real Conference 2009

In February 2009 SRN hosted our most popular national conference to date, entitled, ‘Making Recovery Real’, with over 400 people in attendance. The event focused on learning about recovery from mental health problems, considered initiatives related to promoting recovery and encouraged debate about the concept of recovery.


We had a film crew on hand to speak with conference delegates and presenters about various recovery related topics and to capture the morning presentations from keynote speaker Mary O’Hagan and Network Director Simon Bradstreet.

The film clips provide us with a visual record of this successful event and will hopefully remind those who attended of the day’s events, as well as provide an opportunity for those who were unable to attend to hear view points and presentations shared on the day.

There are three short films which feature conference delegates and presenters talking about:

  • What does recovery mean to you?
  • How do you stay well?
  • Thoughts on SRN
The final two films are of the morning session presentations given by keynote speaker Mary O’Hagan and Network Director Simon Bradstreet.

In addition to this, we also recorded the audio from the parallel sessions. You can listen to the audio here.

What does recovery mean to you?
