Recovery

Welcome to our recovery pages. These pages are run by Develop's recovery inclusive practice forum, which for historical reasons is still called RecoveryNET. This is a partnership of organisations and individuals with an interest in understanding the recovery concept from the point of view of each other's personal experience:

"Mental health recovery is a journey of growth and change. It is a process of moving towards a life that the person chooses for themselves. Recovery can be about reaching a place that feels ok to be, or about how a person arrives at a place where life has new meaning and purpose."

RecoveryNET meets on a quarterly basis to discuss how we can move forward with the recovery concept, how it can help, and how it can hinder, and how it can improve practice in mental health services and inform work on mental health matters in the wider community.

What we have to offer:

• We share inclusive practice.
• Support projects that are promoting recovery.
• Events and an annual international conference.
• We can signpost you to training opportunities and find solutions to current issues related to recovery.

In this section you will be able to find:

• Services that are promoting recovery locally, regionally and nationally.
• Events about recovery from near and far.
• Evidence and policy - Research and background reading on what recovery means, mental health services recovery policy, what recovery-oriented practice looks like and how the recovery concept can be used to inform the development of services.
• Guidance and tools that can be used to support recovery including wellness recovery action planning.
• News - stories about people's recovery "journeys".
• A discussion forum - A place to ask questions, share concerns, find support and offer or obtain advice including how to use the recovery concept in your workplace if and when mental health matters arise.
• Training about the notion of recovery and how to work with the tools developed by people in recovery and the professionals supporting their journeys.
