North Cumbria Recovery College
Recovery from mental illness is so much more than just the remission of symptoms.
To many it may seem recovery comes with the remission of symptoms, but often people with a mental illness define recovery in terms of living a meaningful, autonomous and empowered life in the community and having a sense of purpose.
