Leeds Recovery College

About the Leeds Recovery College

Learning, living and teaching wellbeing.

Our courses are co-designed and co-led by people who have had or are living with mental health challenges, who work alongside lots of different health professionals, teachers and trainers to run workshops with us.

We hope that this ‘lived’ and ‘learnt’ experience brings a mixture of perspectives into our training and creates a welcome and friendly environment for learning.

‘Courses aren’t therapy, they are based in education and the recovery college does not replace a clinical or therapeutic intervention. What’s important is that we provide a positive learning approach in which we all share knowledge and are able to reflect on our own health and life experiences’.

Our courses are designed and delivered in collaboration.

We deliver awareness workshops, wellbeing course and ‘retreats’ for people who would like to learn more about mental health and wellbeing (diagnosis or not).  

‘We pride ourselves in treating everyone as a student and you will have equality with all students that attend a course, regardless of if you access mental health services or not, have a diagnosis or not, are a health professional, carer or someone who would simply like to improve your personal mental health knowledge.‘
