Recovery college has helped me become stronger

"Recovery college has helped me become stronger"

About: Community mental health services / Recovery College

(as the patient),

Absolute Gratitude to the NHS for setting up these amazing Well Being schools! They offer HOPE, CONTROL and OPPORTUNITY and increased well being through kind Communication (interaction), Learning, Activity, Noticing and Giving! Who better to Help the despairing than those in Recovery themselves.

These schools are a vital source of Inspiration and Support for sufferers and it would be wonderful if these places are protected by the NHS. It obviously makes great sense to maintain hubs of Recovery where large numbers can be welcomed and invaluable protective life lessons learnt and shared.

In particular, I especially rate the Mindfulness courses and believe this is a major tool to fight mental dis-ease. Perhaps Springfield Recovery College could hold a few more Mindfulness classes because it seems they're always fully booked.

Again, a huge Thank You to Springfield Recovery College, a great place to help you on your journey to Recovery. It has helped me to become a stronger Survivor!
