"Recovery College is Life Changing"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Nottingham Recovery College

(as a service user),

It has empowered me to make big changes in my life for the better and equipped me with the life long skills to enhance and maintain my wellbeing.

I have learnt so much about myself and others and was able to do this as I felt safe due to staff, students and environment. It works so well as Helen (manager, always visible) and her team live The Recovery Model – there is no hierarchy, we all feel equal. The team’s enthusiasm, motivation, compassion, teaching skills, authenticity and hard work inspire hope, opportunity and control in all fortunate enough to attend here.

I just wish it was accessible to all those suffering mental health problems in primary care – and there are many who would benefit hugely to empower them to live life to their full potential.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and reflections on how much you have learnt that helps your recovery at the Recovery College. I agree with you my team are fantastic and do genuienely live 'the recovery model' with authenticity.

I also agree with you about the college being available for those suffering with their mental health in Primary Care, we did offer that for 3 years but it wasn't recomissioned, like you we keep our fingers crossed that in the future it may be commissioned again.

Thank you for taking the time to feedback to us. I wish you all the best with your next steps and I will pass your reflections on to the team.

Helen - Recovery College Manager
