Recovery College in-reach

The Wakefield and 5 Towns Recovery College is part of South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

The Wakefield and 5 Towns Recovery College have been exploring the recovery college model within a mental health inpatient environment, developing in-reach work that will hopefully encourage people to attend the recovery college after discharge.

The basic adult numeracy and literacy skills taster courses will be starting on the acute adult inpatient wards in Wakefield in January 2017, through a partnership with Wakefield Adult Education.

The sessions will be provided in an informal learning enviroment and aim to break down the barriers to learning that some people face.

The ward sessions will hopefully provide students with the confidence to continue with the recovery college after hospital discharge and further develop the skills they have learned, or go on to other activities or education within their local community.

We are now planning to develop more new and exciting in-reach courses and workshops!
