Hi Greg,
It was lovely meeting you again last Tuesday even if it was very briefly. Hopefully we can better chance to chat sometime in the future. I have to say that I am delighted that you found our Recovery Cafe to have a “caring feel”. It was great how everyone took and ran with the idea and we are looking forward to reading those tablecloths! Thanks for your participation as a table host and for playing a part in making the day great!
Valerie

Hi Folks,
Many thanks for an enjoyable day.
As as seasoned mh conference attendee, it was the first which despite medical persona somehow managed to sustain a caring feeling throughout. I felt afterwards that the clue to transcending the conventional psychiatric model may be precisely via such a nursing oriented recovery agenda.
What will decide that will be in the nature of the unfolding `discovery agenda’ as wrap evolves.

Many thanks indeed Abdi for your supportive and appreciative comment! It really was a great day and I am delighted that you got alot out of it. A lovely message too that no situation is permanent and recovery is most definitely possible which we could all do with remembering. Kind regards, Valerie
