The Recovery College is a welcoming place where you can come to learn, connect and grow. Through courses and workshops, we will help you build confidence, discover your strengths, and develop practical skills to support your wellbeing and recovery.
We believe everyone has something to offer and that recovery is about hope, opportunity and living the life you want. Whatever your experience, there is a place for you here.
What is a Recovery College?

We are open to anyone with an interest in mental health, including people with lived experience, carers, family members, friends and professionals, we learn together in a supportive and inclusive environment.
The Recovery College offers courses that inspires hope, builds confidence and supports wellbeing. Where you are not defined by a diagnosis or your past experiences and recognised as more than your challenges.
Join us and discover your strengths, learn new skills, connect with others and take positive steps in your recovery journey, towards the future you want.
We are open to everyone over the age of 18 who lives or is registered with a GP within the Black country. Enrol with us and discover what’s possible!
