ImROC -
Implementing Recovery
through Organisational Change

Devon Partnership Trust was a Pilot Site for the ImROC Project - Implementing Recovery through Organisational Change.

The Project has been instrumental in promoting Recovery oriented approaches within Devon and it is now publishing some of the lessons learned.

The Mental Health Network has recently published a briefing on progress to date, 'Supporting Recovery in Mental Health'.

Its first Key Point is that, 'Changing to more recovery focused practice in mental health is possible even when resources are limited, but providers will need to review existing services and staffing establishments.'

Meanwhile, the Project has produced three substantial papers on specific topics:

Briefing 1: Recovery Colleges - also known as Recovery Education Colleges, or in Devon, as our Recovery Learning Community.

Briefing 2: Recovery, Personalisation and Personal Budgets

Briefing 3: Recovery, Public Mental Health and Wellbeing
