    Trade Review

    "As co-chair of a Recovery Through Activity community of practice, I am regularly touched and inspired to hear about the increased happiness, purpose, and vision witnessed by my colleagues. Recovery Through Activity works its magic for clinicians and participants!" - Sarah Helen Keith-Roach, Expert by Experience, Sussex Partnership Foundation NHS Trust.

    "Finding Recovery Through Activity was ‘a lightbulb moment’. It represents everything that occupational therapists do well and enables us to provide greater parity across mental health and learning disability services. The handbook is a must-read for all occupation-centred providers." - Amy Mitchell, Divisional Head Occupational Therapist, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board

    "Recovery Through Activity is a beautifully crafted, theory-driven, practical resource for everyone who values occupation-centred practice. It gets to the heart of the relationship between occupational participation and recovery and is a delightfully accessible read. I recommend it to students, practitioners, researchers, and academics." - Sarah Bodell, Senior Lecturer, University of Salford.

    "I enjoy using Recovery Through Activity to plan and modify structured occupational therapy interventions. I like to think of it as providing the spine for my wild ideas, resulting in successful interventions, tailored to the needs of the individual." - Manohar Kainth, Assistant Practitioner, Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
