This section is dedicated to our students who have kindly written testimonial’s about Buckinghamshire Recovery College, the course and workshops they have attended, and their tutors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to say thank you for today, truly you made me feel welcome, un-judged, part of a team and most of all valued as a human being with a mental health issue. I can\u2019t tell you how relaxed and comfortable you made me feel and I have not found this in many spaces. Your service is a diamond amongst the sand and I can\u2019t wait to return and do more courses, I will be recommending you to all my friends.\u201d — Dawn<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"hope\"<\/p>\n

“The course gave me time to fully think through, condense and formalise ‘who I now am’, the way forward and set simple targets and goals.<\/p>\n

The finished board highlighted to me how muddled, confused and chaotic my thinking is right now and this is my next piece of work.<\/p>\n

The 2 minute challenge worked brilliantly and has created a daily focus and a positive viewpoint. This is the start of a change to my negative thinking. I will be continuing with my gratitude journal. I have enjoyed the whole process and listening to everyone else’s “stories”. This course got me out of the house.<\/p>\n

Thank You” — Jenny<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"CONTROL\"<\/p>\n

“The college has enabled me to leave the house and attend a safe, warm and comfortable setting. It has helped me with my low mood and has helped my confidence, Carol and all the tutors are so professional, friendly and caring. I don’t go out often but the recovery college has opened a special door, I feel the space is my life line.” — Ord<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"OPPORTUNITY\"<\/p>\n

“First time in 7 years I have not felt isolated, sessions run are thought provoking and allow me to develop new skills and knowledge, and best of all it’s fun.” — Carmel<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"hope\"<\/p>\n

“I’d like to say a BIG thank you to everyone at the college. I enjoyed all the course I undertook with you. I also enjoyed being with people that really understood me. I have taken so much information away with me and it has been a big part of my recovery.” — Kim<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"CHOICE\"<\/p>\n

“The vision board sessions have given me the time to reflect on the things I want in life and given me a visual way to express this. I like the creative aspect of the course. I will put my vision board on display and look at it everyday and I will continue to add to it as I go along.” — Sarah<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
