The fact that several of the make and recovery role partners have been able to create paid roles for people, and the fact that that's happened kind of all within quite a short time frame, it's meant that this- it's like a whole new team of peer workers have come into the sector and are learning together and supporting each other, and I think that really brings a really strong foundation to peer work in Dundee.
Imagine a mental health support system where local communities and formal services walk hand-in-hand. This episode of 'Making Recovery Real' brings you into the heart of such a revolutionary approach, as practiced in Dundee. Hosted by Louise Christie, the Acting Director of the Scottish Recovery Network, this 30-minute conversation is packed with real stories and practical insights.
You'll hear from a diverse group of individuals who have been instrumental in implementing this approach, including Wendy Callender, executive director of Wellbeing Works. One of the standout features discussed is the creation of paid roles for peer workers, which has not only provided employment but also enriched the support system with lived experiences. Digital engagement and communication are also highlighted as crucial elements that have helped sustain this initiative, especially in challenging times.
Personal journeys of those involved bring an emotional depth to the conversation, making it relatable and inspiring. Whether you're navigating your own mental health journey or looking to enhance your professional practice, this episode offers a treasure trove of ideas and stories. It's not just about listening; it's about feeling connected and understanding that recovery is a collective effort. Dive in to discover how Dundee's model could be a blueprint for sustainable mental health support in your community.
