Outside the Box

This guide is for anyone who is has the opportunity to give a presentation or be part of training, where they are drawing on their own experiences.

In 2006 and 2007 Outside the Box led a series of workshops for people who wanted to give presentation or deliver training about recovery and the experiences of people with mental health problems.  It was part of the Talking About Recovery project, which brought together people who were interested in spreading the word about recovery in Scotland.  The initial development stage was funded by the Scottish Recovery Network.

We developed a guide to help people give presentations and facilitate discussions about recovery.  These were used by some of the local networks that were promoting recovery for people who live with mental health problems.

The guide was also used by people in other circumstances when they were giving presentations as one way of influencing other people
