SRI site goes live

We are delighted to announce that the Scottish Recovery Indicator (SRI) has been launched as a web based tool. The SRI has been designed by the Scottish Recovery Network to help mental health services ensure that their activities are focused on supporting the recovery of the people who use their services. In doing so it highlights issues in relation to inclusion, rights, equalities and diversity.

The SRI website contains all the information, guidance and supporting materials that you will need to use the tool. Click here to access the site.

Introducing the Scottish Recovery Network

The Scottish Recovery Network aims to engage communities across Scotland in debate on how best to promote and support recovery from long-term mental health problems.

Recovery is about more than the mere absence of symptoms and is a deeply personal process. However, international experience shows that developing an expectation of recovery and an understanding of what helps people regain control in their lives can have a powerful impact.

Read more about the background to the Network.
Promoting and supporting recovery is one of the four key aims of the Scottish Executive's National Programme for Improving Mental Health and Wellbeing. The Scottish Recovery Network is funded through this programme.
