Recovery & Wellbeing College

Recovery describes a personal journey people experiencing mental distress undertake to rebuild and live a meaningful life. The Recovery College provides education that promotes healing, wellbeing and recovery. We aim for people to become experts in their recovery, emotional wellbeing and achieve their goals and aspirations.

All Recovery College courses are co-written and co-facilitated by Recovery and Wellbeing Educators.  At least one educator is a person with a lived experience of mental distress or suicidal crisis and the other a health care clinician.

Whether you experience mental distress, or suicidal crisis or both, support someone who does or work with South Eastern Sydney Local Health District, we offer you the opportunity to learn about recovery, wellbeing and inspire people to lead hopeful and meaningful lives.  All the courses are friendly and welcoming and we provide tailored student support if needed.

The South Eastern Sydney Recovery & Wellbeing College is currently FREE of charge and open to people 16 years of age and over in our community:

• With a lived experience of mental distress, or suicidal crisis and live in the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District catchment area.
• Their families, carers and support people.
• Other residents of South Eastern Sydney Local Health District catchment area.
• Staff, students and volunteers of the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District.
