  1. Open Day 29thAugust 2014 Recovery College

  2. ‘I found enrolling on courses really easy!’ ‘It was inspiring hearing stories of other people’s journeys and to feel hope and opportunity again!’ ‘I was unsure and nervous at first about attending this course, but for me it has been a really positive experience!’ ‘Being around people who have experienced similar situations has helped me feel less isolated!’ ‘I thought I was never going to go back to work again, the job seekers tool kit gave me my confidence back!’

  3. The Recovery College promotes an ethos of Hope, Control and Opportunity to its students, aiming to inspire, recognise, develop and celebrate their talents, skills rather than highlighting problems. We want people to develop expertise in their own recovery and well-being and to live the best lives possible for them, regardless of a condition. We want to further break down barriers by developing and delivering learning opportunities and courses by people with lived experience and our staff and partners with professional experience Mersey Care Recovery College Aims

  4. Mersey Care Recovery College What It Isn’t. A recovery college is not a day centre. Not a replacement for traditional therapies - courses should complement and enhance traditional treatment and support. Students - Not service users or clients Not a prescriptive service - students enrol not referred. Not mandatory - you don’t have to go it’s the students choice

  5. Mersey Care Recovery College What Is It? The Recovery College … Runs like any other college but provides education and learning opportunities as a route to recovery, not as a form of therapy. Offers courses that are co-produced and co-delivered by people with lived experience and by people with professional/technical expertise. Works closely with students to identify reasons why people stop engaging in learning opportunities (Physical, Mental, Environmental issues) and aims to reduce them. Is currently available to everyone in secondary care services including family members, carers and staff.

  6. Mersey Care Recovery CollegeWhat is Co-production? Co-production is built on the understanding that public services are best delivered ‘with’ and not ‘to’ people. Co-production demands a shift from ‘fixers’ whose role it is to focus on problems to ‘enablers’ who focus on strengths and abilities. NEF (New Economics Foundation), 2008 Co-production is the process where all courses and learning opportunities, from the moment the idea is conceived to its actual delivery are developed and produced by what we call; people with lived experience and our staff with professional expertise. It is the process of recognising that input from both parties is equally valuable to the student. This is not a tokenistic gesture, everything has to be 50-50 for this to work.
