Ron Coleman – A bad career move
In this DVD Ron tells his life story from his early years to the
present day. Told in his own irreverent style Ron will take the viewer
on a journey full of highs and lows and ending with great hope for the
future. This DVD is a must for professionals, Carers and service users
as it leaves those who see it inspired and believing that recovery is
not something that should happen for the lucky few but something that
is there for all to grasp. A bad career move is a happy, sad, funny,
poignant story that will make people laugh, cry, be angry but most
importantly it will instill hope. £18.00 plus 10% p&p
Ron Coleman - Making Recovery Happen
In this DVD Ron explores the concept of recovery by contrasting
recovery with the current maintenance dominated service systems that
are in place within the mental health field. Ron argues that recovery
should not be some add on extra of mental health service provision but
a fundamental human right for every person who enters mental health
services. £15.00 plus 10% p&p

Working With Voices Events
A training day with Ron Coleman
Hearing voices is one of the most common
experiences that people diagnosed with a psychotic illness have.
Research has shown that many people continue to hear voices even after
prolonged use of medication. This has meant that many voice hearers do
not get relief from their experiences. The consequence of this is that
many people live lives that are low in quality & high in distress.
Many professionals are left frustrated when medication does not deliver
the desired results.
