We aim to deliver a wide breadth of courses in a variety of topics that support mental health recovery, this can be practical areas such as finding and retaining employment, navigating services, or supporting others mental health. Other areas include self care, building resilience, how accessing the natural world supports recovery and looking at how creativity such as photography, film-making and writing can support mental health recovery.

Who delivers courses?
Co-production is a fundamental principle of the Recovery College. This means all courses are co-designed and co-delivered between at least two people where there is a combination of a person with “learned” knowledge and skills and a person with “lived experience” of mental health recovery.
We are always interested in hearing from people who would like to co-produce or co-deliver courses with us.
