Empowering Minds, Building Resilience: The Recovery College, a vital resource for individuals navigating mental health challenges, is thrilled to announce a series of open days across the West Midlands. Following a significant expansion at the end of 2023, the college now boasts locations in Dudley, Walsall, and Wolverhampton, alongside its established base at Quayside House in Oldbury, offering accessible and supportive learning opportunities to a wider community.

What is the Recovery College? Unlike traditional academic institutions, the Recovery College provides a unique, person-centred approach to wellbeing. It's a place where people with lived experience of mental health difficulties, their families, and carers can come together to learn practical skills, build confidence, and take control of their mental health journey. The curriculum is co-created with students, ensuring relevance and impact.

A Growing Network of Support: The expansion marks a significant step in the college’s mission to make mental health education and support more readily available. The new sites in Dudley, Walsall, and Wolverhampton are designed to be welcoming and inclusive spaces, offering a diverse range of courses and workshops.

What to Expect at the Open Days: These open days are a fantastic opportunity to:

• Meet the Team: Connect with the college's dedicated staff, including experienced educators and peer support workers.
• Explore the Courses: Discover the wide array of courses on offer, covering topics such as anxiety management, mindfulness, resilience building, and self-esteem. Many courses are short, informal, and designed to fit around busy lives.
• Tour the Facilities: Get a feel for the welcoming and supportive environment of the college.
• Ask Questions: Get all your queries answered about enrolment, course content, and the college's overall philosophy.

More Than Just Courses: The Recovery College is about fostering a sense of community and belonging. It's a place where people can share their experiences, learn from each other, and build lasting connections. The emphasis is on peer support and empowering individuals to become active participants in their own recovery.
