Title: BME Recovery Group - Report of the launch

Date: 12/12/2007

Summary:
On the 29th August 2007, the Black and Minority Ethnic Recovery Group
(BMERG) which is based in Glasgow launched their report. The BME
recovery group brings together women in Glasgow who have experience of living with mental health problems – for themselves or for people whom they care about.

This report was the culmination of the previous 6 months work of the group and an event that they held in 21st March 2007.

The initial project was a partnership between Glasgow Association for Mental Health, the National Resource Centre for Ethnic Minority Health (NRCEMH), the Scottish Recovery Network (SRN) and Outside the Box and the Women’s Group.

This short report describes how we organised the launch and what happened on the day. We have prepared this note to encourage other people to consider having events like this as part of their work.
