Recovery Event for Mental Health and Learning `Disability - Herts & Beyond


Thursday, November 4, 2021 at 6:30 AM - 12 PM EDT

Please join us for our 15th Annual Mental Health and Learning Disability Recovery Event. We will celebrate stories of Recovery that Experts by Experience and Service Providers bring, and challenge ourselves to constantly do better in creating the best possible circumstances for ourselves and others to overcome our challenges.

As the pandemic shifts and changes but hesitates to release us fully from its grip, we come together to continue to bear witness to the impact that it has on us, and to reflect and to look to each other for a way forward into a collective Recovery. To this end we have put together a programme of sessions, live and recorded, which we hope will engage, challenge, and ultimately give hope.

This year we will be online again, on MS Teams.

Once again we have International contributions, this year from no less than Dr Roberto Mezzina (Chair of the International Mental Health Collaborating Network who for several decades lead Mental Health Services in Trieste, Italy), and Dr Yael Mazor (Senior Lecturer in Social Work @ Sapir College).

Closer to home we have many and varied presentations, live and recorded, from people like New Leaf Recovery College, an update from a Community Recovery project in Watford, a Choir (or two), news about a Peer Support project from Viewpoint, workshops for Carers from Carers in Herts, a Mindfulness Session from Mind In Mid-Herts, the voice of young people from HPFT’s Young Peoples Network talking about Body Image, stories of hope and survival in relation to Suicide from Herts Mind Network, and much, much more……
