Sarah travelled to the USA to investigate peer led recovery projects from addiction. She is the founder of Recovery Cymru and is feeding her findings back into the programmes there.

Wynford's Fellowship enabled him to visit a number of new recovery community centres in the US. He chose these centres as they have achieved long-term recovery from severe alcohol and other drug related problems. He hoped they would provide him with ideas on how to better build a strong "peer culture" into the services he is establishing as part of The Living Room Cardiff project, which opened its doors in 2011.

Peter wanted to learn at first hand how addicts and Recovery Advocates in the USA have been able to successfully influence, and work in partnership with, service providers and policy makers to change policies and services away from maintenance and so called "harm reduction" to promote recovery and abstinence for individuals and communities blighted by the chronic condition of addiction. He kept an excellent blog during his Fellowship and is now using the experiences and lessons learnt in his work with the Liverpool abstinence service user group and the wider UK Recovery Movement.

Jane travelled to Australia to gain first hand experience from primary care based practitioners delivering established and effective youth friendly services for emotional and psychological distress in children and young people. She aims to transfer this knowledge to the development of a GP-led service in the North East of England where no such clinic has been offered before. The purpose is to provide early therapeutic and primary care based interventions for troubled children and young people.

Caitlyn works as a Domestic Violence Development Officer and wanted to travel to the USA to see what they are doing there to assist the mental health recovery of victims of domestic violence and their children. In the UK services to assist victims of domestic violence once crisis point is reached are excellent, but there is little in place to support women's mental health and well-being afterwards.
