Becoming a Recovery College Student

Hello and Welcome to The Recovery College Blog.

On this post you will find all the information you need to become a Recovery College for the Black Country student. 

What is The Recovery College?

At The Recovery College our belief is that learning together makes us stronger and supports our recovery.

The Recovery College provides an educational learning environment for people who have an interest in, or personal difficulties with, mental health.

You do not need any formal qualifications or experience to attend the college.                                                                                                     All of our courses are free of charge and open to anyone, aged 18 and over.

All of our sessions are created with people who have lived experience of challenges with their own mental health along with carers and healthcare professionals. We hope we are able to support you on your recovery journey to living a full and satisfying life, by inspiring hope, optimism and choice.
