Beyond Recovery is an independent community mental health creative project that started in late 2011.

We are a small group of people who have been gathering ‘expert by experience’ mental health art pieces and literature in the Merseyside, north west England.

Our mission is to provide online resources to help support people currently experiencing psychological distress, and a platform for those who have recovered who want to help others by sharing their experiences.
