"Deals with the problems effectively with lasting results"

I attended the Recovery College as I was suffering from Depression & Anxiety.  It certainly was an education as I was taught how to recognise the trigger points that were causing my mental illness & subsequently learnt how to avoid these by changing the way that I thought about things.  This has enabled me to control my illness & eventually recover to a normal relaxed state of mind.  My only one constructive criticism is that I felt that there was a little too much small talk at the start of each session which sometimes resulted in the class not being able to cover the last part of the paperwork that we were given.  Overall though I thought that the tutors were very good at communicating with the students and deliberately did not put them under any pressure.  I felt that this was very important, given how mentally fragile some of the students were, and demonstrated good standard of professionalism.  It was interesting to note that the students were from a whole range of different backgrounds and given the colleges broad range of subjects, there seems to be a course to suit everyone.  Although appropriate medication may make  us feel better it is not a cure,  so I would highly recommend the Recovery College as this deals with the problems far more effectively with lasting results.
