Join session and find ‘hope’ on road to recovery
An innovative session is being offered focusing on the importance of ‘hope’ in helping people with their mental health recovery.
The Recovery College NHFT course aims to instil hope, and help people proactively take more control of their mental health, by harnessing positivity in their own lives and those around them.
The ‘Hope in Recovery’ session takes place on Thursday, 16 May 2024, from 10am to 1.30pm, at Corby Mental Health Resource Centre, Stuart Road, Corby, NN17 1RJ.
The course, led by a clinical psychologist and someone with lived experience will include personal stories by people with lived experience of mental illness and their journey to recovery.
Nic Oliver, Recovery College NHFT manager, said: “This is a fantastic place to start your Recovery College student journey as ‘hope’ is a key part of everything we do! The course will cater for those at different stages of their mental health recovery or with different life experiences. For example, it may be useful for people who are currently waiting for interventions or those who are transitioning out of services. It will explore the definition of ‘hope’, and its relationship with recovery, and look at how hope can be found and harnessed.”
