Scottish Recovery Network

How do we create and embrace big change within Scotland’s mental health system towards a future that values lived experience and peer roles?

Overview

Julie Repper, Director at Imroc, has been driving recovery-focused change, including developing a peer workforce, in mental health for 20 years.

Julie has a wealth of experience and insight into what enables change to happen and key knowledge on what helps to overcome and get around barriers to change.

A fantastic opportunity to learn from her journey as we grow and nurture lived experience and peer support in Scotland.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Sharing what's possible. This Peer Connects event is for anyone involved in the mental health system in Scotland, including People with Lived Experience, Peer Workers, Service Providers, and System Leaders interested in driving change.

Due to our funding commitments, this event is for people working in Scotland, but learning will be shared in our newsletter and through the Peer Recovery Hub.
