- A drop-in hub in partnership with local third sector organisations to offer
a variety of emotional, practical, and social support - A collaborative and holistic approach to care planning

It was a genuine conversation going on rather than just ticking boxes. It felt really positive. I’m usually quite cynical. I felt quite positive about it & just the fact that I felt listened to.

The expertise of the Scottish Recovery Network has enabled NHSL staff involved in providing mental health services, to hear the views and opinions of people who we might not have heard from otherwise, and to reflect on the services currently provided. The ability to engage with third sector organisations and hear about community resources was also valued highly by NHSL staff.
