Rona McBrierty
Rona believes that everyone has the right to recover from the challenges resulting from mental illness. Through twenty years of using the mental health system herself, she has gained a passion for promoting mental health and wellbeing in society.
By reflecting on her own experience of mental illness, she has been able to find compassion for herself and others, and offer support in the journey of recovery.
Rona worked in the first Peer support project in Scotland and values the mutual support and empathy that can be offered in this type of relationship. She is an experienced trainer in recovery and mental health awareness and understands the importance of creating the right learning environment through encouraging participation, respect and honesty.
