We now offer online courses which are pre-recorded and can be accessed at any time via mymentalhealthrecovery.com, this offers a wide range of courses to support mental health and wellbeing which complement our face to face courses.
Introducing the start of the Spring 2024 Recovery College programme, Nicola McGarvey Western Trust Recovery College Coordinator said:
“I would like to welcome everyone to our free mental health and wellbeing education and learning programme. I am excited to join the Recovery College team and take up the role of Co-ordinator at the start of this new term. I believe the College has an important role to play in the recovery and maintaining of our mental health and wellbeing and I am happy to be part of that!
“We look forward to starting this new term and New Year with the theme of hope. Hope rings through as one of the key concepts in recovery as without hope there can be little or no change.”
“The Recovery College continues to offer mental health and wellbeing education and learning programmes for everyone throughout the Western Trust area – whether you have a diagnosis of mental health issues or not; whether you care for someone with mental health difficulties or whether you want to increase your knowledge and skills around looking after your mental health and wellbeing. All our courses are co-produced and co-facilitated by people with lived experience and mental health professionals, which provides an understanding of mental health from a wider angle. We continue to be grateful for the support, time, experience and knowledge that is given from our students, peer educators and staff within the community and the Western Trust area who help make the Recovery College so meaningful. As we move into the first term for 2024 we look forward with the knowledge that the Recovery College offers hope to everyone who attends within the community.”
“We have a full timetable of courses and workshops throughout the Western Trust area. Courses are open to all – those who use services, people with mental health issues whether diagnosed or otherwise, carers and supporters, students, health professionals – in fact anyone who is interested in improving or maintaining good mental health.
The term commences week beginning 19th March 2024 and registration for the courses is essential. Anyone who would like to register or find out more information please contact the Recovery College Tel: 028 8225 2079 or email: recoverycollege@westerntrust.hscni.net
