Free courses this summer to support mental health and recovery
We're launching the summer term of our Recovery College, offering a new range of free courses focused on mental health, wellbeing and recovery.
Open to NHFT service users, carers, volunteers and members of the wider community, the Recovery College provides a welcoming space where everyone can learn together. Courses are designed and delivered through co-production, meaning they bring together professional knowledge and lived experience.
Whether you're looking to better understand mental health, build confidence, develop practical skills, or support your own recovery journey, the Recovery College offers learning that is accessible and supportive.
The Recovery College continues to see strong interest from people across the community. During the Spring Term earlier this year, hundreds of people booked onto courses, with sessions bringing together learners from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
This growing engagement highlights how valuable the Recovery College model is in creating opportunities for people to connect, share perspectives and learn from one another.

The summer term programme will include a range of online and in person courses covering topics such as:
- Depression awareness and recovery

If your plans change
We understand that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes things change. If you book a place on a Recovery College course but later find you're unable to attend, we kindly ask that you let the team know if you can.
This helps us offer your place to someone else who may be waiting and ensures courses run smoothly for everyone.
