Hello!

Firstly, I hope the beginning to 2009 is going well for you.  I’m back in the office and leaving the wonderful laziness I’ve enjoyed over the last couple of weeks behind and am ‘back on it’ - I think!

So here’s my first post for 2009.  A beautifully crafted animation (my heart always lies with animation - it’s a childhood thing) on the development of the internet.  Which, please do watch all the way through. 

And when you have - please ask the question - what does this have to do with Recovery?

If I had a pot of development money for a piece of work I would do on breaking down stigma and the use of the net I would commission an animation of this calibre.  The point of which would be to show thought around mental ill health since the inception of the concept and where we are today with the concept and reality of recovery.  The language would probably seem strange to anyone outside of mental health, much as the language in the above clip may seem to you.  But I wonder how many people globally would be influenced in their understanding by viewing it?
