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 dont need to be referred by a professional to enrol at the college. You

can choose which courses interest you or suit your needs. We dont limit the

number of workshops and courses you can enrol in. All wed ask is that, if you

do put your name down for a course, you make every effort to attend. Because

the course places are in high demand, please choose wisely, and if you cant

6Caring for People Who Experience Psychosis Two-hour workshop | This course is specifically for carers

We know that mental illness affects more than the individual. We also know that carers play a crucial part in helping their loved ones to recover or at least start on the road to recovery. But the carer experience can be lonely and alienating and many are poorly served by the statutory organisations. This workshop looks at how carers can access help and build up their resilience. Topics covered include:

The workshop, co-produced by people with lived experience and staff from SLaMs Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma, will also focus on personal recovery stories and strategies which people have found useful.

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
