Greater Manchester Recovery Academy

The Greater Manchester Recovery Academy provides a range of free educational resources for people with mental health and substance misuse problems, their families and carers as well as health care professionals.

The resources are useful if you are looking to increase your knowledge and understanding of mental health, improve your mental wellbeing, or simply want to learn something new.

The resources are co-written and co-delivered by professionals and people with mental health or substance misuse problems in order to recognise with equal importance both professional expertise and lived experience and promote our philosophy of shared learning.

Resources currently available include a range of courses categorised for easy access; self-help materials; self-help videos; e-learning packages, and radio podcasts.

If you are a member of the GMMH staff or a GMMH Volunteer, you can access all of these resources via your Learning Hub account. Just click on the Recovery Academy Leaf to use the products on offer and book on any of the available webinars.

If you are a service user or carer, please click here to register on the new system. We ask you all to re-register because the system is new.
