Recovery colleges provide free educational courses which can help someone understand their experiences, manage recovery, and also support someone else in their journey. They are available for service users, ex-service users and  family, friends and carers.

Courses can help carers build upon their skills, resilience and confidence. Carers often experience a sense of isolation and lose their personal identity, becoming a student can help break this pattern. Allowing yourself to have some “Me” time and learning something new can be really rewarding.
