Conwy Recovery College Survey Questionnaire

What is a Recovery College?

Recovery is about living hopefully, being able to pursue goals, dreams and aspirations and to enjoy a meaningful, purposeful, satisfying life.

There are Recovery Colleges across the UK, all delivering courses to help people understand and manage their mental health. However, it is more than a collection of courses. It provides the opportunity for people to grow their skills and passions, make connections and get involved in a variety of activities, all with consistent support along the way for people to create their own path.

Choices may range from structured 1-1 wellbeing support or courses, key life skills, social groups, peer support, volunteering and course development or delivery.

We need to hear from you.

We want to know what you need and feel would be helpful to you and your community.
