Narrative research project stories
|
As part of the Narrative Research Project we interviewed 64 people across Scotland about their experience of recovery from long term mental health problems. From those interviews SRN worked with participants to create anonymous stories which we have then shared in the booklet Journeys of Recovery (10.39 MB) and via the website. The stories are listed in alphabetical order and have short descriptions to help you search. Or you can use the search option below to find stories of interest to you. To share your thoughts on recovery or your own story visit the ‘Share your story’ section of our website. |

The stories presented here are for information only. They are meant to inspire hope and show that recovery can and does happen. The stories highlight various examples of recovery and we do not advocate any of these experiences as the ‘right’ way to recover. Recovery is an individual and unique process, each person must decide for himself or herself what will work for them. Please carefully consider any decisions you make about your own recovery and consult with someone you trust if you feel unsure. See our Submit Your Thoughts pages for details on how to submit a story to us or you can contact us.
