New DVD to promote message of Recovery 

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.

A range of perspectives on the experience of recovery are shared in this film. In his story, Pete uses animated graphics to share his experience as a young person of mental health problems and recovery, whereas James shares his experience of recovery from his diagnosis of dementia.

For more information about this DVD, or to view the entire film or particular chapters, please follow the link above.

 

Conference 09 attracts record bookings  
 
Making Recovery Real, SRN’s national conference 2009, has attracted record bookings with over 450 people applying to attend. We will be working hard to accommodate as many of those people as possible, but can no longer take submissions as the waiting list for this event now contains over 100 people.

If you have applied for a place, and have not been told you are on the waiting list, you should get a confirmation letter within the next week.

If you booked a place but are no longer able to attend then we urge you to let us know so that someone else can take your place.

We are pleased to report that we will be recording and sharing audio from the event, as well as posting presentations on our website to ensure that people who can’t make it can share some of the learning from the event.

For more information about the conference, as well as more detail on the wide array of contributors to the parallel sessions, please follow the link above.

One way SRN is working to increase wellbeing and recovery is by sharing and developing tools like WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Planning), and we have recently developed and published a WRAP leaflet.
