Wellbeing and Recovery College - Free wellbeing and recovery-focused courses
Within the Wellbeing and Recovery College we aim to provide free wellbeing and recovery-focused education courses that are accessible to adults within our local community of Staffordshire, Stoke on Trent, Telford and Wrekin and Shropshire and to work together to create an environment of Hope, Control and opportunity for us all.
Anyone between the ages of 16 to 18 who is interested should get in touch to discuss further. Our classrooms are all about shared learning, whether you are someone who uses our services, a friend/carer, a member of staff or someone with an interest in one of our courses, we are open to all in our local area. We recognise that as human beings we all have our own personal wellbeing/recovery stories, the uniqueness of these experiences can benefit us all by sharing and learning from each other in a safe and equal space.
All courses are developed and delivered in partnership by peer trainers, who have lived experience (i.e. of mental/physical health issues and /or learning disabilities) or of caring for someone with these experiences, together with a professionally trained trainer.
Each trainer will draw on their skills and experience of their specialist area to create and develop something unique. They will aim to use their own experiences to support and inspire students in their recovery journey.
The model of shared learning is at the very heart of the Wellbeing and recovery College and allows for rich and diverse perspectives on living well with mental/health or related issues.
