Dear Recovery College Students and Friends,
The SLaM Recovery College team are pleased to offer you the latest update to the curriculum and timetable for late March and April 2022. In the Course Descriptions pdf document below you will find the latest course info and timetable.
The Recovery College collaborations with The Horniman Museum and Gardens and The Comedy School bring two new courses in April: ‘Nature for Wellbeing and Planet Audio Challenge’ and ‘Introduction to Illusionary Mime Technique’. Also new for April is our new monthly ‘Research Club’ session to give service users and carers the opportunity to learn about mental health research that has taken place locally and how to get involved in contributing to research and innovation.
In March and April, the Recovery College team is starting to transition back to classroom-based courses and workshops at ORTUS on the Maudsley Hospital site, Mosaic Clubhouse in Brixton, The Horniman Museum, The Comedy School and The Wellness Centre in Croydon. We hope that you will feel confident to join us again and experience coproduced wellbeing education in person! The college will continue to offer online opportunities for those students who prefer to learn from home or their workplace.
With 27 topics to choose from in the coming month, there’s something in the curriculum for everyone. If you would like to learn more about what is on offer at SLaM Recovery College, please visit our weekly Monday student support drop in sessions at ORTUS from 10am-4:00pm.
