ABOUT US
If you are someone who has struggled with enduring mental and emotional turmoil you'll know that mental health problems can feel just as debilitating as any other illness – only you cannot see it.
Although mental health problems are very common – affecting around one in four people in Britain – there is still stigma and discrimination towards people with mental health problems, as well as many myths about what different diagnoses mean.There are also a lot of different ideas about the way mental health problems are diagnosed, what causes them and which treatments are most effective. However, despite these challenges, it is possible to recover from a mental health problem and live a productive and fulfilling life. It is important to remember that, if you have a mental health problem, it is not a sign of weakness.
Most of us at at Recovery In Action have a lived experience of using mental health services. We also have experienced finding identification, kinship and understanding among others who were in varying stages of recovery and wanted to explore a life beyond merely surviving. We found that by mentoring others we began to have more faith in ourselves.
So we at Recovery In Action are enthusiastic about helping the people we support explore positive change on their recovery journey(s).
We are allied with HealthWatch Lambeth who are our 'eyes on the ground' monitoring health services and health service delivery in Lambeth - giving us a good idea where to signpost people to when they need help.
