The Recovery College

In our College we offer courses designed to help increase your knowledge and skills about Recovery and self-management. Whether you work in our Adult Mental Health services, use the services we offer or care for someone who does, we know that learning more about self-management and Recovery will enable you to make the most of the talents and resources that you have. Being equipped with these skill

s will help you achieve whatever it is you want in your life or work. Courses we provide in the college are developed and delivered, on the whole, in partnership with those who have ‘lived experience’ of mental health problems or distress, and those who have ‘professional experience’. All our courses are available to everyone whether they identify themselves as a ‘service user’, ‘carer’ or ‘member of staff’ of Adult Mental Health services. Through everyone learning together with only one shared label of ‘student’, we believe that we can begin to break down the barriers and stigma that exist and support you, whatever your background, to benefit from the richness of experience. Our courses are themed in categories related to Hope, Agency and Opportunity and as you read through this prospectus you will see that they are of varying lengths, content and learning style. We hope this prospectus will give you the information you need to help you make decisions about enrolling as a student, and any courses you might want to sign up for. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the college.
