Phoenix leads a diverse life helped along by Wellness Recovery Action Planning and all aspects of Recovery. In the last few years she performed stand up comedy. Laughter truly is the best medicine! Now she is concentrating on being involved in improving conditions for inpatients and service receivers trustwide and nationwide. And training in WRAP, Recovery Star and the new Advanced Statement and some gardening for health. Art is now a major focus with some great new projects coming up. Also working with services to develop a new approach for people to have a greater knowledge and insight to their own trauma and recovery.
