Western Trust launch Recovery College to promote positive mental health

The Western Trust has launched a series of workshops aimed at promoting mental health well-being and recovery. 

The Recovery College courses are written and delivered by people with lived experience of mental health issues.

They work alongside healthcare professionals to help people recognise and develop their own personal resourcefulness and resilience, become experts in their own self-care and work towards achieving their goals and ambitions.  

Workshops offered this term include: Living beyond Depression and Low Mood; Living Well with Bipolar; Caring for Someone with Psychosis; Spirituality and Mental Well-being; Understanding Medication; Understanding Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; Creative Recovery and Wellness Recovery Action Plan.

Courses are open to all and are free of charge, however, registration is essential.
