North Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership (NAHSCP) are piloting a new opportunity for people affected by mental health problems to participate in a range of courses that focus on wellbeing and recovery.

The pilot is being managed by a steering group consisting of representatives of NAHSP along with community partners and individuals with lived experience of mental ill health.

The outcomes for participants are that people affected by mental health problems have:
an increased sense of connection with others

The project will run from February – June 2018, when a limited number of courses will be offered. As this is a pilot project, each course will run once, with a limited number of places available.

It was developed in 1997 by a group of people who were searching for ways to overcome their own mental health issues and move on to fulfilling their life dreams and goals. It is now used extensively by people in all kinds of circumstances, and by health care and mental health systems all over the world to address all kinds of physical, mental health and life issues. This two full day programme will introduce you to the key concepts of WRAP and how you can use these in your own life.

This series of writing workshops focuses on the promotion of self-management for people experiencing emotional difficulties or mental ill-health. The discussion and writing undertaken at Write to Recovery groups aims to invoke, in participants, a recognition of their strengths and positive aspirations.
