Reflections on Recovery – Stories shared to inspire hope and promote recovery from mental health problems brings together four personal stories, interwoven with the views of many others around recovery and what recovery means to them. We know that one of the most powerful ways to truly understand recovery from mental health problems is to hear about it from someone who has experienced recovery firsthand. The personal stories in this film show that recovery can and does happen, and can help the viewer understand some of the elements of recovery. The film runs for approximately 35 minutes. The individual chapters are roughly 5–6 minutes long and are also viewable separately below. This film was officially launched during the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival in October 2008 and was produced by the Lanarkshire Recovery Network and the Scottish Recovery Network with joint funding by NHS Lanarkshire and the Scottish Recovery Network.

| 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. |
