timetablespring term 201520 january – 27 march



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)

No one needs a referral to enrol at the college and it’s up to you how few or

how many courses you sign up for. All we’d ask is that, if you do put your name

down for a course, you make every effort to attend. At the very least, please letus know as soon as possible if you can’t make it, so we can offer your place to

someone else – our courses are in high demand and it would be a shame for

places to go to waste.

Please note that you also need to be aged 16 or over to come to any of our courses.
