Recovery is about a personal journey towards a meaningful and satisfying
life, towards living as well as possible, whatever symptoms or difficulties are
present. The workshops and courses we run aim to provide the tools to make
this happen, to help you become an expert in your own recovery or that of
someone you care for.
Our college offers a learning approach that complements the existing services
provided by the Trust. Co-production is at the heart of everything we do.
Every course and workshop we offer is co-designed and co-run by trainers
who have experienced mental health difficulties working alongside trainers
from the mental health professions.
Who are our courses for?
Our courses are free of charge and open to:
• People who use SLaM services
• Supporters (carers, family and friends) of the above
• People who have been discharged from SLaM services within
the last six months
• Supporters (carers, family and friends) of the above
• Volunteers and peer supporters working with SLaM
• SLaM staff (not students)
You don’t need to be referred by a professional to enrol at the college. You can
choose which courses interest you or suit your needs. All we’d ask is that, if you
do put your name down for a course, you make every effort to attend.
Places for all our courses are in high demand, so if you can’t attend for any
reason, please contact the Recovery College office as soon as possible so your
place can be offered to someone on the waiting list.
About the college
Please note that you also need to be aged 16 or over to come to any of
our courses.
Please see page 17 to find out how to enrol.
Brief descriptions of all the courses and workshops we are currently running
can be found in the latest prospectus and also on our website:

Cancellations
Please let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend a course
or workshop for which you have enrolled, giving as much notice as you can,
so we can offer your place to another student.

Additional support
If you feel that you need additional help in getting to a class or in fully
taking part, please let us know in the space provided on the enrolment
form. We understand there can be things which make getting to and
participating in education more difficult such as:
• Feeling worried or stressed about being in groups and talking
• Having difficulty getting to places on time or using public transport
• Problems with concentration
• Dyslexia or other learning challenges
• Vision or hearing impairments
• Mobility difficulties or pain that prevents you from sitting comfortably
We will do our best to make it as easy as possible for you to take part.
Volunteer travel buddies may be available to support you to attend our
workshops and courses.
Course materials
Please tell us in advance if you will require course materials in a more
accessible format (i.e. in large print, on a coloured background or in a
particular font you find easy to read) and we will do our best to meet
your request.
Disabled access
We try to ensure that the venues we use for courses and workshops are
fully accessible and have disabled toilet facilities.
Need our help in any way?
18
If you have more specific access requirements, please tell us in the space
provided on the enrolment form.
Can a carer, friend, or family member come to the course to support me?
Absolutely, but we would ask that they take an active part and book onto
the course by enrolling as a student too.
Do you provide refreshments?
Like any other college, we do not provide students with free food and
drink. Most, if not all, of the venues we use offer tea and coffee, although
sometimes these may need to be purchased (depending on the venue’s
facilities). We are not able to provide lunch, and it is advisable that you
bring something with you if the course lasts all day – just in case the shops
are a distance away from the venue.
Remember: our courses are free of charge!
Will you pay my travel costs?
Similarly we cannot reimburse you for your travel costs.
I still have questions. Is there someone I can talk to?
Of course! If you would like to chat to us about these or any other issues,
please call our office on 020 3228 3643.
Hope: sometimes it is difficult to live hopefully in the face of what can seem like overwhelming odds. Hope, believing that a meaningful life is possible, is essential to recovery
Control: making decisions about what you want to do in life, over the path your journey takes, the challenges you face and the help you receive
Opportunity: the chance to do the things that you want to do, to do the things that make life worthwhile, and to have access to the roles, relationships and activities which are important to you
