Carers and supporting recovery report
This unique report, commissioned by the Scottish Recovery Network, is the result of a long-standing project to investigate carers' perspectives on recovery and their experiences of supporting recovery.

Key themes from this report include:

  • Carers can play an important part in supporting recovery.
  • Formal services could benefit from working with carers to establish better informed recovery focused relationships with service users.
  • Carers can face certain challenges when supporting recovery, such as managing risk, letting go and their own recovery.

More information about this report and how to access it is available on our website.


Announcing SRNs local event series

During winter 2009/2010, we will be embarking on a series of local events throughout Scotland. The purpose of these events is to raise awareness about recovery, to encourage action locally, to develop SRNs own learning about mental health and recovery, and to expand the network.

Our first stop will be in Caithness on 01 December 2009. We will also be visiting Oban and Stranraer during February and March 2010 (official dates for these events are to be confirmed).

More details about these events (including how to register) will be made available in the coming weeks via the website and update.

If you are interested in attending these events, please let us know on info@scottishrecovery.net
