Thanks to TFN for this news item about our new 10-year strategic plan - Catalysts for Change.

Scottish Recovery Network launches new ten-year strategy.

09/04/2026

🧩 We've launched our 10-year strategic plan!

Catalysts for Change sets out Scottish Recovery Network's vision, role, and what we'll be striving to achieve over the next ten years to reshape how Scotland's mental health system works.

Our strategic plan outlines how through collaboration we can build a recovery-focused mental health system powered by lived experience and strengthened by peer support.

This is a significant change in thinking and practice. It will require ambition, persistence and tenacity. We need lived experience leadership, friends of lived experience and recovery, and system changemakers working together.

We know there will be barriers, but we believe that we can overcome them to create a mental health system that operates with hope, connection and recovery at its core.

Just under a week until our next Peer Connects online event!

Join us on Tuesday 14 April from 10:30-12:00 for a practical session with a focus on building facilitation skills, creating safe spaces, & fostering hopeful conversations in peer support settings.

This is a great opportunity to come together with other peer workers to exchange ideas, explore new tools, and develop your peer practice in a supportive and collaborative space.

🚊 We're in Edinburgh today with the Let's Evaluate Peer Support Roadshow!

Peer workers and others involved in peer support have come together for a half-day workshop to explore our Adaptable Outcome Map which offers a relational approach to evaluation that is based in peer values.

It’s a practical tool built upon Matter of Focus’ Outcome mapping approach and developed by people who understand peer support. It uses peer support language and values and recognises that peer support creates change at multiple levels.

📸 Here's a few snapshots from the workshop.

Next stop Glasgow on 22 April. Book your place here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lets-evaluate-peer-support-roadshow-glasgow-tickets-1983959992745?aff=oddtdtcreator

Over the next ten years we have an opportunity to reshape how Scotland’s mental health system works. Together we can build a recovery-focused system, powered by lived experience and strengthened by peer support.

It's going to require change across many fronts. Our focus is on lived experience leadership and peer support because we believe they are essential to making transformation happen.

The result will be a mental health system that operates with people, hope, peer support, and recovery at its core.

🧩 Our 10-year strategic plan Catalysts for Change launches later this week in our newsletter. Make sure you get it straight to your inbox and be part of the change.
