Our Director Julie Repper spoke at the Peer Connects event in Edinburgh, sharing two decades of experience driving recovery-focused change across mental health systems — including her work developing peer workforces and embedding lived experience at the heart of service design.

In this talk, Julie explores what it actually takes to move from well-intentioned policy to real, lasting transformation: the barriers that get in the way of systems change, and the practical levers that help organisations push through them.
