Hi to all.

I'm new to doing this, but just wondered if there is anyone out there working in Older Peoples Mental Health and doing any specific work related to the Recovery Model? I piloted a group a little while ago called "My Recovery Plan", which looked at how the person makes their journey of recovery and identifies areas where they needed help and what they could do as individuals. The group was run by the clients who had limited contact with the service. It ran for 7 weeks and I was helped by an STR Worker to co-facilitate the group. I really enjoyed sharing personal experiences with people and how much they relied on professionals to make decisions for them, because they didn't feel able to say to others what they were able to do when well and how they wanted support in times of becoming unwell.

Phew!! If anyone has done anything else out there would really enjoy talking more.
