2025 Recovery Festival: Resources and wellbeing activities

Thank you for being part of this year’s event! We hope you had a chance to unwind in the Enchanted Garden, take a moment to reflect, and connect with nature in a way that supports your wellbeing.

About the Recovery Festival

The Recovery Festival is our annual celebration of mental health, recovery, wellness, and community. It’s a space where service users, supporters, and staff come together to share experiences, promote mental health, and build an inclusive, supportive environment for everyone.

Through this annual event, we aim to bring service users, their supporters and staff together to celebrate recovery; to spark conversations about mental health; and to encourage people to participate in activities to support their wellbeing.

Want to stay involved? Learn more about how you can join our service user engagement networks and how your feedback can make a real difference in shaping the future of our services.

Some of the resources featured here are part of Walk in My Shoes, the flagship awareness-raising and education initiative of SPMHS.
