Our Courses
Our courses are split into 3 areas – Getting Started, Building on
Your Learning and Continuing Your Journey.
• ‘Getting Started’ – are courses/workshops that might be a
good place to start if you aren’t sure what you would like to
learn with us – but you don’t have to do these first.
• ‘Building on Your Learning’ – courses/workshops that help
you gain further knowledge and skills of mental health issues
and self-management.
• ‘Continuing Your Journey’ – are courses/workshops that will
help prepare you for your next steps whether that is further
education, volunteering, work, or perhaps becoming a peer
trainer with the Recovery College.All Recovery College students are invited
to attend one of our Recovery Cafés which
meet regularly in Enniskillen, Omagh and
Strabane. We hope to have the Derry/
Londonderry Café up and running shortly. The cafes are a relaxed and informal way
to meet fellow students and new friends, hear what’s happening at the College and
find out about events in your local area. You can find out when the Café in your area
is on from your workshop facilitator, or the Recovery College Co-ordinator. Everyone
is welcome and we look forward to seeing you there!opportunity
