Time to Change activities are going from strength to strength following the successful Roadshow held in Exeter and the Flashmob event on World Mental Health Day.
An award for £2,500 from Open Up is enabling us provide one-hour awareness-raising sessions across Devon aimed at tackling stigma and discrimination surrounding mental health and promote an understanding of support services and ways to keep healthy.
This next phase of the Trust’s Time to Change campaign runs until February 2010, alongside the national Time to Challenge campaign. Visit www.time-to-change.org.uk/home and www.mindfulemployer.net for information and support for employers and employees. Join the campaign on Faccebook

Putting Recovery at the Heart of all we do
The move towards focusing on a person’s recovery represents one of the most fundamental shifts in mental healthcare that we have seen in decades. It is about helping people to build a meaningful and satisfying life, as defined by them. It represents a movement away from focusing on a person’s illness, symptoms and medication towards their health, personal strengths and wellbeing. The values that underpin the notion of recovery include hope, choice, acceptance, inclusion, respect and believing in people. Adopting these values when we work with people can play a huge part in our success in helping them to recover.
Working with our recovery partners across Devon and Torbay we have jointly published a guide entitled Putting recovery at the heart of all we do. This shares the values, principles, practices and standards that we all endeavour to work towards in supporting people's recovery.
