What enables people to live well?
What would make support and services better?
How can sharing your experiences with others in similar circumstances help?

The feedback from these events will be shared with the Scottish Government to help them shape the strategy and create better services in the future. Feedback will also be used to support the development of Penumbra’s Self Harm Network Scotland.
Scottish Recovery Network’s staff team will host the cafés with the support of people with lived experience. We have deliberately low numbers to allow more time to explore your opinions and ideas. Places are given on a first come, first serve basis.
