Free courses to help you take control of your wellbeing
Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust proud to launch another year of exciting and hopeful Recovery College courses. The Recovery College offers a range of different courses which aim to help students support themselves and others to understand a range of health conditions and support with recovery.
Courses are designed to support individuals to take control of their own wellbeing, despite any health challenges they may face.
They are produced and presented by both a health professional and someone with lived experienced of different health challenges.
There are a range of courses from those on mental health, including specific courses such as “Understanding trauma” and “Unstable Personality Disorder” to courses related to lifestyle, such as “Retirement – Adjusting to a new Beginning” and “Mental Health, Pregnancy and the Postnatal period”.
2024-25 was the most successful year yet for NHFT's Recovery College, with 92 courses delivered and over 900 students joining us on their recovery journeys. As we look ahead to the new term starting this September, we're excited to introduce new courses alongside our existing favourites.
Some of our new and upcoming courses include:
- Recovery and wellbeing in mild cognitive impairment and Dementia
- Retirement: adjusting to a new beginning
- Living with bipolar
