"I felt safe and happy in this group"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Nottingham Recovery College

(as a service user),

Thank you Nottingham Recovery College for an amazing course. I felt that this course was neurodivergent friendly and affirming. I felt safe and happy in this group. The tutors were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I really liked the diversity of experiences shared by other service users and tutors, we all built on each others learning.

My favourite part of the course was the A-Z of self-care, and the 30 day calendar. They were really fun to fill in. I did find it difficult to concentrate when the tutors were reading out long bits of information and preferred it when we were doing a task and/or discussion.

I wish the Recovery College was more accessible, this info/courses would help so many people and could even prevent so many people needing Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT). I would love to do longer courses too. Can't wait to continue on my Recovery College journey.

Dear caelumdf36

Wow thank you for your inspiring and reflective feedback, I’m so pleased you found the course amazing and I will pass your feedback on to the Peer Trainers who, as a team with lived experiences, some of which is neurodivergent, will be delighted to hear it.

It’s so good to hear that you enjoyed and benefitted from the diversity within the class and the learning, and I also hope that you continue to benefit from the techniques and resources you have taken away.

The fact that you felt safe is paramount to us here at the Recovery College as we strive to provide a safe environment for students to make the most of the learning journey with us.

Thank you also for your reflections that the courses and information might help other people – this too is very inspiring to hear and we agree with you. We enjoy every opportunity to reach anyone who would find it helpful.

We look forward to working alongside you on the continued Recovery College journey.

Helen Brown, Recovery College Manager
