Our Recovery College offers a wide range of free courses to help people better understand and manage their mental health needs, recover and stay well.
Our courses are delivered by specially trained Recovery Coaches, who have lived experience of mental or physical ill health, alongside mental health professionals. They provide information, strategies and skills that help people to become experts in their own self-care.
People who would like support with managing their wellbeing, family and friends who would like to learn how to support loved ones, and healthcare professionals can all benefit from these courses.
Our courses cover mental and physical health and are held either virtually or in space and supportive learning spaces.
Recovery College is open to anyone aged 18+ living in Surrey and Northeast Hampshire. Enrolling in our courses is easy and entirely self-referral. You can explore and sign up for all our courses here.
What do we mean by recovery?
Mental health recovery is a journey. It's not about fixing you, it's about empowering you to lead your own journey towards wellbeing, step by step.
We're here to support you every step of the way and we aim to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and care you need to lead a fulfilling life.
How does Recovery College work?
Our courses are led by Recovery Coaches, who bring their own lived experience of mental health challenges, alongside clinicians and mental health professionals.
Attendance at the Recovery College will not be added to your clinical records and all courses are free to attend.
Our courses cover a wide range of topics including:
- Skills and Wellbeing
- Understanding Conditions
- Creative Recovery
- Employment
Our courses are open to anyone aged 18 and above living in Surrey and north east Hampshire. Whether you're personally dealing with mental health struggles, caring for someone who is, or you are a professional seeking knowledge, our doors are open to you.
