In this personal reflection, I recount my path from crisis patient to Board Trustee at Imroc, an organisation dedicated to transforming lives through peer support and lived experience. From my early days of recovery at the CNWL Brent Recovery College to the recent internal launch event, my story is one of growth, resilience, and discovery. Imroc's values—Belonging, Openness, Quality, and Equity—are at the core of everything we do, fostering a community that empowers individuals to live well. Join me in exploring how lived experience can turn recovery into discovery, and why Imroc’s pioneering work in peer support is so vital in today’s complex world.

Today, on Global Peer Support Day, we at Imroc take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact that peer support workers have had on countless lives. As an organization dedicated to promoting recovery and empowering individuals through lived experience, we are proud to highlight the invaluable role peer support plays in mental health care.
