Recovery In Mind was set up by founder Angela Ryan who brings her own personal experience of mental health challenges and is passionate about improving the lives of people living with a variety of mental health challenges.

I would love to raise money, to make a difference, so that even more people can access these free courses, which really are beneficial and gives you a different look at your mental health challenges.

To do this, I will be walking 45km across the beautiful South Downs on Saturday 12th May 2018, an organised event by Just Walk-Across the Divide. www.just-walk.co.uk/. Starting at Goodwood racecourse, I will then be walking 45km over different terrains. I have done a lot of training over the last few months, not just physically but mentally too. I'm really looking forward to this challenge.

Recovery In Mind provide free of charge courses to anyone living with mental health challenges in West Berkshire. Their courses are designed to increase knowledge and understanding, and to improve confidence in self-managing personal mental health and wellbeing. By gaining hope and taking back control, people become expert in their own recovery and can move on with their lives despite their challenges.

I too, have had and still experience mental health challenges, depression, anxiety and PTSD. I am currently on my 4th course with Recovery In Mind. I have seen, and people around me have seen a difference in me since beginning these courses. They really do help, giving you strategies, advice, support and different ways of looking at your recovery that you may not have come across before in other treatments.

For me personally, they really have helped enormously, and not just short term. All the knowledge you gain really feels like it will stay with me forever. The courses have given me more positivity and confidence to tackle my mental health challenges head on. The courses are varied, covering all aspects of recovery in mental health. Please visit their website at www.recoveryinmind2016.com All the staff are amazing!
