Imroc is a registered charity, led by lived experience and dedicated to improving the lives of people with mental health conditions, autistic and neurodivergent people and/or those with long term health and social challenges.
We are based in England and work globally providing bespoke consultancy and organisational development, accredited training, coaching and mentorship; thought leadership, evaluation and research.
Our Story
Imroc exists to help transform mental health systems, services and communities so that they are focused on Recovery and living well: hopeful, helpful, human and effective.
We have more than 20 years’ experience of developing practices that rebalance power shared decision making at an individual level to peer support workers employed at team level, lived experience expertise at executive level and genuine coproduction at system level.
Our training, consultancy, and research focus on building inclusive, recovery-focused approaches that are shaped by lived experience.
Training
Our training is co-produced, practical, and grounded in lived experience.
Whether you're just starting your peer support journey or working to embed lived experience leadership across a service, we offer training that’s inclusive, adaptable, and recovery-focused. With a range of programmes and flexible delivery, we work alongside individuals and organisations to build skills, confidence, and meaningful culture change.
“I love that Peer Support is timeless, would always have existed from the first time two humans connected on a shared experience and will exist always. I love that the qualification for Peer Support (apart from completing the training!) is having a story to tell and having the compassion to listen.”

Sharing what we’re learning together
Everything we do is grounded in lived experience and informed by evidence. Explore our free collection of papers. These are for anyone living with, working in, or commissioning services with a focus on quality, collaboration, and real-world impact.
This paper presents a trauma-informed, recovery-focused approach to improving acute inpatient care at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust, in partnership with Imroc. The initiative empowers staff to work alongside the people they serve, driving meaningful change.
At Imroc, we believe real transformation happens when values-based approaches are embedded within systems. Guided by the Imroc Acute Care briefing paper, this work provides a structured framework for innovation. Through our Sharing Experiences papers, we showcase practical examples of how recovery-oriented approaches can be implemented within large systems, inspiring change beyond individual organisations.
