This year Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) is once more bringing a series of Recovery Events closer to our services users and carers and will be holding events in Watford, Stevenage, Bishops Stortford and Hatfield during the week of 8 October 2018. This Hatfield event has been organised in the early evening in order to give people who are otherwise occupied during the day an opportunity to attend.

The theme for 2018 is focused on ‘Hope and Opportunity'. We will be exploring the important connections between the inner resource of hope and the opportunities that exist in the outside world to live fufilliing lives in the face of mental health problems. The events will be a rich mixture of discussion and activity with the lived experience of mental health right at the heart of the day.

We are particularly keen to encourage attendance from people with lived experience whether you are service users or not, carers, the public, employers, as well as a range of professionals. We are encouraging people to attend the event at their closest location. Once again, we will be providing free return transport for service users or carers from a number of centres around Hertfordshire.
