Supporting and promoting recovery is one of the four key aims of Scotland’s National Programme for Improving Mental Health and Well-being. The Scottish Recovery Network is funded to work towards this aim. The study on which this discussion paper is based (completed mid-2006) aimed to contribute to development of recovery in Scotland through critical inquiry. Three linked methods were used: review of key local, national and international texts on experience, policy, practice and recovery-focused research, semi-structured, informal interviews with 11 key actors from the four constituencies on their perceptions of the emergence and development of ‘recovery’ and implications for implementation of a recovery agenda, and notes taken at local and national recovery events, meetings or conferences documenting content and use of recovery language in public settings.

This (non-statutory) guidance seeks to provide support to service commissioning and provider agencies so that appropriate mental health service provision and inter-agency partnerships enable MHTR delivery locally. The MHTR is intended for the sentencing of offenders convicted of an offence(s) which is below the threshold for a custodial sentence and who have a mental health problem which does not require secure in-patient treatment. The guidance reflects the changes to responsibility for probation services in England and Wales from 2014 resulting from the Government's Transforming Rehabilitation reforms and the Offender Rehabilitation Act 2014. It outlines the legal framework and the challenges in delivering MHTR and sets out an integrated delivery model. This comprises: partnership, contributions and responsibilities; clerks of the court and sentencers; consent; health agencies; providers of probation services; and mental health assessments.

In these pages the reader may feel the pain of those for whom the present system has failed, feel the inspiration and joy of those who have recovered, and the desire to make recovery a reality for all in this new millennium.

For Reeves, focusing on the experience of growth as an individual has been her source of inspiration for recovery. Looking back in time and acknowledging that every thing that happens, happened for a reason, has helped Reeves become the person she is today; someone who values friendship, love and honesty, someone who does not take these values for granted, and who can hopefully give something of this to other people.

Helping people to recover their lives should be the top priority for mental health services. This means giving service users the chance to determine what future they want for themselves and offering practical support to help them to achieve it. While recovery is already government policy, the reality is that mental health services still focus more on managing people's symptoms than their work, education and family life. Yet these are what matter most to most people. The authors say "Recovery is a truly radical idea. It turns mental health services' priorities on their heads. Traditional services wait until a person's illness is cured before helping them to get their life back. Recovery-focused services aim from day one to help people to build a life for themselves. The medical care they give is in support of that bigger purpose." Making Recovery a Reality says mental health services need to change radically to focus on recovery. They need to demonstrate success in helping service users to get their lives back and giving service users the chance to make their own decisions about how they live their lives.
