Recovery is on our Mental Health Wish List for 2010 and is a topic that seemed to generate a lot of conversation and excitement at our Mistletoe and Mental Health event a couple of weeks ago. Going through my email inbox, which I'm a bit behind on, I found an email from Rethink sent in November with news of a new report on recovery. 'Getting back into the world: reflections on lived experiences of recovery', is what it says - a compilation of interviews with 48 people across England who have personal experience of mental illness. What's really interesting - and positive - about the report is that the interviews, analysis and write up were also done by people who have personal experience of mental illness. I've not had a chance to have a proper read but a quick glance shows that it will be an inspiring, thought provoking and useful report for anyone with an interest in recovery in mental illness.
The Centre for Women's Mental Health in the University of Manchester are offering a FREE half day workshop for female mental health service users who wish to improve their knowledge about sexual and reproductive health matters and their interaction with mental health. Participants will be introduced to an innovative online resource ( www.scie.org.uk/publications/elearning/sexualhealth/index.asp ), and provided with opportunities to reflect critically on these matters drawing on their own experience. The workshop will run on Friday 19 April 2013, 9.45am-2.00pm, at the University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL. (Venue details to be confirmed).
