About the Leeds Recovery College

Mental health and wellbeing courses for adults who live, work or study in Leeds.

Leeds Recovery College provides a range of free courses and workshops which focus on mental health and improving wellbeing. Our courses are open to all adults who live, work or study in Leeds. You don’t need to be referred to the college, have a mental health diagnosis or be supported by mental health service to attend- book yourself onto any course that interests you.

The Leeds Recovery College courses are available to people who want to learn more about mental health and improve their wellbeing.

‘The aim of a Recovery College is to provide learning opportunities for people who experience any kind of health and social challenges, their family members, staff who support them and members of the public with an interest or involvement in mental health and wellbeing.’
-ImROC 2019

Learning, living and teaching wellbeing.

Our courses are co-designed and co-led by people who have had or are living with mental health challenges and who work alongside many health professionals, teachers and trainers to run workshops with us.

We hope that this ‘lived’ and ‘learnt’ experience brings a mixture of perspectives into our training and creates a welcoming and friendly environment for learning.

‘Courses aren’t therapy, they are based on education, and the recovery college does not replace a clinical or therapeutic intervention. What’s important is that we provide a positive learning approach in which we all share knowledge and can reflect on our own health and life experiences’.

Our courses are designed and delivered in collaboration.

We deliver awareness workshops, wellbeing courses and ‘retreats’ for people who want to learn more about mental health and wellbeing (diagnosis or not).

‘We pride ourselves in treating everyone as a student, and you will have equality with all students that attend a course, regardless of if you access mental health services or not, have a diagnosis or not, are a health professional, carer or someone who would like to improve your personal mental health knowledge.‘
