Welcome to home of Resilience Learning Partnership (RLP). We are the education and training provider with a difference. We specialise in training, and expert lectures delivered by individuals who have access to research evidence as well as ‘lived experience’ of the topics they talk about. We can authentically answer the most important question – How does it feel?
We specialise in bringing the expertise and knowledge of people with Lived Experience into the training and development of staff within the public, third and private sectors. We do this by tapping into the unique understanding and resource people with Lived Experience bring to our work by feeding it directly into staff training and development.
We can provide a wide range of services including training, consultation, lectures and much more. All of our services can be completely tailored to meet your needs and we offer a range of fully bespoke packages. Contact us directly to find out more about how we can help you.
We have recently launched our new Crafty Kids initiative in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With thousands of kids now stuck at home, we’re helping families with children and young people keep busy through arts and crafts. We aims to deliver over 1000 boxes filled with arts and crafts supplies to homes across Scotland.
“I diagnosed abdominal pain when the real problem was hunger; I confused social issues with medical problems in other patients’ too. I mislabelled the hopelessness of long-term unemployment as depression and the poverty that causes patients to miss pills or appointments as noncompliance. In one older patient, I mistook the inability to read for dementia. My medical training had not prepared me for this ambush of social circumstance. Real-life obstacles had an enormous impact on my patients’ lives, but because I had neither the skills nor the resources for treating them, I ignored the social context of disease altogether”
