One of our group members, Irene Harris, is going to lead presentation at our meeting on Wednesday 13th July. Its subject is how people who have a diagnosis of schizophrenia want to be treated by other people and how the recovery approach can improve the lives of people with psychosis.
It’s about love, hope, the right treatment and support and what we can all do to help. It’s mainly in DVD form with people, service users & carers, speaking for themselves. The presentation will follow with an open discussion so we can share our thoughts.
Come and join us from 6 – 7:45pm at Manchester Carers Centre. A ‘walking bus’ leaves from by the taxi rank at Manchester Piccadilly station at 5:30pm.

Noting your focus, location and meetings Hodges' model may be of interest? It is a conceptual framework - a model that can support reflection, holistic practice (physical - emotional - social needs and strengths) and care integration.
The home page of the website presents the model:

A blog includes more details on the model, nursing, mental health, dementia, education and IT:

Rethink is included on the following resource page:

I'd be pleased to present the model as a free and accessible resource.
Kind regards,
