They are designed to support people experiencing mental health challenges to invest in their own wellbeing and recovery. All the courses follow a personal recovery approach which encourages: Self-knowledge and acceptance An understanding of the principles of recovery Learning and applying new skills and strategies Leading a meaningful life with or without symptoms The aim is to empower people to take control of their own lives and become experts in their own recovery. People attending Recovery College are students, not patients or service users. Students are not referred to Recovery Colleges. Students choose whether they want to attend or not, and which courses they want to do. Recovery College is not a replacement for clinical support. It works alongside it. Courses can be about lots of topics. From learning practical skills to better understanding yourself and the challenges you face. It is a safe space to learn among other people who have experienced mental health challenges. The courses have been categorised to help guide students: • Begin – to understand yourself • Build – a toolkit of self-help skills • Understand – aspects of the challenges you may be facing • Grow – a plan for your future All the courses are centred on the principles of CHIME - Connection, Hope, Identity, Meaning and Empowerment.
