Recovery College – SHSCT area

Mental health and wellness is recognised as an important and essential component of health and is fundamental to the ability to live and enjoy life. Unfortunately 1:5 people in Northern Ireland will experience some form of mental health problem in their lifetime.
Recovery can be a voyage of self-discovery and personal growth, which does not impose limits on people. Experiences of mental illness can provide opportunities for change, reflection and discovery of new values, skills and interests.
The Southern Trust Recovery College works to empower those with experience of mental health problems to realise their potential and foster hope, opportunity and control. We aim to provide an opportunity that is free from stigma, is strengths based and focused on the person and not the illness.
The College also welcomes anyone with an interest in developing awareness of mental health and wellbeing.
