Welcome to my Blog which I propose to sustain through the Summer of 2010 alongside Hafal’s “Road to Recovery” campaign – you can access all the information about the campaign here.
We are gearing up for the launch of Road to Recovery on Tuesday 20 April when health minister Edwina Hart AM will inspect our 1964 VW Microbus (see picture) at the National Assembly before we send it off on its journey around Wales. The bus will stop at 22 events – one a week from May to September covering every county in Wales (details here).
Of course we will aim to have a lot of fun with the campaign and plans are in hand for beach parties, barbeques, and the like up and down Wales. The serious background to the campaign is to make sure we get a first-class new mental health Measure (Welsh law) in the coming months and make some real headway in achieving personal choice and control for people with a serious mental illness on their plans for treatment, care, and recovery.
More next week when I’ll report further on plans for the launch.
