Recovery in Action was a two-year service improvement project developed by the Strategic Network for Mental Health, an alliance of four voluntary sector mental health provider organisations: Advance, Mind in Birmingham, Second Step and Sussex Oakleaf. The project explored ways of embedding recovery in mental health services. The key elements were to: develop a recovery training programme; produce a set of service user recovery outcomes; produce an outcomes measurement tool for recovery; produce a recovery checklist for organisations. Seven sites were identified to pilot new ways of recovery orientated working. The report summarises the key findings from the pilot projects and results of a formal evaluation exercise. Following a 'what we have learned section', the report concludes with recommendations for policy makers, commissioners, organisations, service delivery and a message to service users. The appendix includes the recovery checklist for organisations.

This workbook is based on the experience of seven voluntary sector projects that were part of the Mental Health Foundation Adult Crisis Service Development Programme, which ran from 1997-2002. As part of its Adult Crisis programme, the Mental Health Foundation funded seven community-based crisis services in England: two residential services, two safe houses and three telephone helplines. This workbook highlights key issues to be aware of when establishing a crisis service and suggests some of the ways they can be tackled. It uses several methods of presenting ideas and information to help develop projects. It includes: examples of experiences of the seven Mental Health Foundation-funded crisis projects to demonstrate the many issues that need to be considered when setting up a crisis project; checklists to assist identification of what has been achieved and what still needs to be done; and group exercises and handouts to stimulate thinking and debate on key issues and to assist decision-making.
