A small team of us are walking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks to help raise money for the Voyage to Recovery.

I have always found being outdoors and physically challenging myself has helped my mental health and stress resilience. Our service users in the EIP team do not always have the same advantages or the confidence to access these kind of activities. The stigma of mental health and psychosis can be a barrier. The Voyage to Recovery will enable people to get out of their comfort zone and learn how to sail on a 5 day trip. We will work as a team to overcome challenges together, helping to improve social skills and confidence.

The past voyage our team participated in accelerated people's recovery and the majority went on to take up paid or voluntary work.
