The Power of Telling my Story




Help others learn from your experiences
Help services learn how to improve


A two day workshop for those who have a lived experience of mental health challenges. Those of us who have mental health challenges are strong, worthwhile people who have a story to tell which can encourage us, and those who hear it.


This two day practical workshop, led by trainers from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, will cover:

  • Recovery in mental health
  • The recovery journey that we are all making
  • The vital role and positive impact of ‘telling our story’
  • The skills of story telling
  • Opportunities for sharing our story to help further improve services

Building on your strengths and increasing confidence the course will equip you to tell your own recovery story; helping you to see the hero that you are.

Dates: 24th & 25th Nov, 2011
