May at The Recovery College
Although we have been in term down time May has been a very busy month for The Recovery College.
Our Facilitator team have spent time contacting current students for their End of Term Review and new students for their Getting to Know You meeting. These conversations are the best way for us to understand why you wish to attend the college and how we can best support you in your time with us at The Recovery College.
Our Admin Team had a busy two weeks in Enrolment Week allocating you to your chosen courses for our Summer Term. We appreciate your patience as we take the time to confirm your courses with you.
Through the term break we host Recover Together sessions, Health Walks and our great Learning Support Assistant workshops. These workshops are delivered across our 4 locations in Sandwell, Dudley, Walsall, Wolverhampton and online. These short workshops are great for your personal development to help you progress.
One student who attended the Identity: Discovering who you are workshop said:
"This workshop has equipped me with lifelong tools to nurture self-respect, embrace my identity, and live in alignment with my values. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen self-awareness, heal, and grow."
