About

The Recovery Foundation® came about from my own journey through mental illness. In 2007 I was diagnosed with Schizo-Affective Disorder and needed several hospital stays before I was able to be treated at home. Not only was I very unwell, but I was also hopeless. Life became about surviving from one day to the next.

Now, over 10 years on, things are very different. I  am no longer on a cocktail of medication and no longer am I held in chains by my mental illness. I am recovering.

My key to all this?

Finding Hope.

A seed of an idea began to grow; if I was able to find hope and use it to grow my recovery, maybe others could too? Maybe all that was needed was a way to help grow it?

After lots of research and interviewing professionals and individuals from different communities and cultural groups, it became clear that there are very few resources available for you and me supporting our recovery.

Together our Team provide the know-how and support to make this possible.

My hope is that The Recovery Foundation® can help you find, grow and sustain hope on your journey,

Best Wishes
