Mid West ARIES (Advancing Recovery in Ireland Education Service)

Mid West ARIES offers a range of courses and resources on mental health recovery and well-being. The topics of the courses are created by people with lived experience, namely, service users, family members and service providers. This is called co-production. This means that everyone has a say in what goes into the courses. Themes covered on the courses include: What is Recovery?; Understanding Mental Health Services; Advocacy and Empowerment.

Mid West ARIES' mission is to:

• To provide education and resources created and delivered by service users, family members, carers, and mental health professionals.
• To inspire hope, create opportunities and foster the belief that recovery and well-being are possible.
• To promote education as a tool in mental health recovery.
• To promote a culture of inclusivity, mutual respect and learning among all, service providers, service users, family members, carers and anyone with an interest in mental health and well-being.
