Recovery is about a personal journey towards a meaningful and satisfying life, towards living as well as possible, whatever symptoms or difficulties are present. The workshops and courses we run aim to provide the tools to make this happen, to help you become an expert in your own recovery or that of someone you care for. Our college offers a learning approach that complements the existing services provided by the Trust. Co-production is at the heart of everything we do. Every course and workshop we offer is co-designed and co-run by trainers who have experienced mental health difficulties working alongside trainers from the mental health professions. Our courses are free of charge and open to: People who use SLaM services Supporters (carers, family and friends) of the above People who have been discharged from SLaM services within the last six months Supporters (carers, family and friends) of the above Volunteers and peer supporters working with SLaM SLaM staff (not students) You don t need to be referred by anybody to enrol at the college and you can choose whichever courses interest you or suit your needs.

Need our help in any way? Phone Additional support Our team can support you to fill out the form over the phone if you d prefer. Telephone: 020 3228 3643 Cancellations If you feel that you need additional help in getting to a class or in fully taking part, please let us know in the space provided on the enrolment form. We understand there can be things which make getting to and participating in education more difficult such as: Please let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend a course or workshop for which you have enrolled, giving as much notice as you can, so we can offer your place to another student. Feeling worried or stressed about being in groups and talking Having difficulty getting to places on time or using public transport Problems with concentration Dyslexia or other learning challenges Vision or hearing impairments Mobility difficulties or pain that prevents you from sitting comfortably We will do our best to make it as easy as possible for you to take part. Volunteer travel buddies may be available to support you to attend our workshops and courses. Course materials Please tell us in advance if you will require course materials in a more accessible format (i.e. in large print, on a coloured background or in a particular font you find easy to read) and we will do our best to meet your request. Disabled access We try to ensure that the venues we use for courses and workshops are fully accessible and have disabled toilet facilities. 18 19
If you have more specific access requirements, please tell us in the space provided on the enrolment form. Can a carer, friend, or family member come to the course to support me? Absolutely, but we would ask that they take an active part and book onto the course by enrolling as a student too. Do you provide refreshments? Like any other college, we do not provide students with free food and drink. Most, if not all, of the venues we use offer tea and coffee, although sometimes these may need to be purchased (depending on the venue s facilities). We are not able to provide lunch, and it is advisable that you bring something with you if the course lasts all day just in case the shops are a distance away from the venue. Hope: sometimes it is difficult to live hopefully in the face of what can seem like overwhelming odds. Hope, believing that a meaningful life is possible, is essential to recovery Control: making decisions about what you want to do in life, over the path your journey takes, the challenges you face and the help you receive Opportunity: the chance to do the things that you want to do, to do the things that make life worthwhile, and to have access to the roles, relationships and activities which are important to you Remember: our courses are free of charge! Will you pay my travel costs? Similarly we cannot reimburse you for your travel costs. I still have questions. Is there someone I can talk to? Of course! If you would like to chat to us about these or any other issues, please call our office on 020 3228 3643. 20 21
