Cracking meeting this morning at the Family Mosaic Housing Association offices near to Tower Bridge. I met with the two Employment Team managers, and discussions were open and honest. I had originally approached them on three separate occasions a few years ago, but they told me funding was not available at the time - and then did it anyway - on a watered down version.
They were receptive to me, and encouraging, and it looks as if I will be doing some work with tenants. I did stress, however, that I would want to talk about contracts if, and when, we are a success in a small initial pilot. I came away very happy.
Getting them on board is terrific, as I can use that talking with the other Housing Associations that I have approached,
I have also started a Facebook page for HMHB - I will be working on that this week, and then making it available to all. I want to add some content first - videos, explanations etc. But again this is quite exciting.
There is the Recovery College, which is run by the Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust. They do quite a few day/half day courses that are Free!!! They are on a multitude of subjects, which are under headings such as:
- Introduction to Recovery Principles
- Understanding experiences of Health Conditions, Treatments and Systems
- Physical Health and Well Being
- Building Self-Confidence
- Returning to Work and Study
I am going to go along tomorrow, I will enrol, and sign up for a few of the courses in November and December. More details when that happens.
