We recently met, via Teams, with a range of services from across Argyll & Bute to discuss our new project – Recovery Advocacy Project (RAP).
We heard from Ailsa, our Team leader in Argyll who discussed the project in more detail and what we hoped to achieve, through working in partnership across the area. We received some fantastic comments from those present about the work that we have been doing.
We had an interactive slideshow asking those present to take part, looking for how we can support them with our new project and how they can support us. Many of these slides prompted further valuable discussion points.
We were delighted at the support, suggestions and guidance they offered us and we are looking forward to exploring how we can connect to strengthen the work that we do in order to meet the needs of the people we support.
