We often share this idea of 'learned experience' but what does that mean? We have our core team of learned, or clinical experience, but we also work with colleagues across the Trust including those in our psychologies teams.

In our core team, we have mental health nurses, social workers and mental health practitioners - you probably recognise a few faces here! They share their experiences of working with people in different mental health settings including in community mental health teams and on hospital wards. They use these experiences alongside our peers lived experiences to co-produce and co-deliver our sessions.

Our mix of learned and lived experiences is our USP! That's our 'unique selling point' 🤓 It is also why our sessions are so impactful and how we can help as many people as we do 🌻

🌻 A lovely visit this week at the Memory Café at Carlton Court!

Our Practitioner Tutor Sarah spent time connecting with attendees and even got creative, capturing this beautiful sunflower drawing!

One of Sarah’s highlights over the past 12 months has been developing and delivering our new ‘Living Well with Dementia’ course, in collaboration with colleagues from the older people’s service. It’s been incredibly rewarding to support individuals and families with practical tools, knowledge, and confidence to live well.

We’re proud of the positive impact Recovery College continues to make in our community 💙

We know that mental health challenges can feel overwhelming and sometimes, it can be hard to know where to start. That's one of the reasons we work in a person-centred way - you choose where you want to start, what you want to work on, and what you think will improve your mental health. We are here to support and empower your choices!

We offer a wide range of sessions and workshops covering many different topics and ideas, including an array of therapeutic tools. These are available both online and in person across Norfolk and Suffolk. We bring lived and learned experience together to develop and deliver our courses. We really value the experiences of the individual and appreciate that a recovery is as unique as you are.

We also offer 1:1 coaching calls with a tutor so you can identify which sessions would be most beneficial to you now and what aligns with your hopes. We provide a wide range of resources you can use as well as info on other places you can turn to to live a meaningful and purposeful life! Our feedback consistently shows that people feel more hopeful about the future having attended sessions with us. So what are you waiting for?! Enrol with us today and book a call with a tutor - we look forward to meeting you! 🌱

Meet Sharn! One of our peers, Sharn uses her lived experience to develop and deliver our sessions. If you have been attending sessions with us over the last few years, you have probably met Sharn either in person or online - she is one of our longest serving members of the team 🌻

Lived experience is not a tick box exercise! It is at the core of our ethos. The equality between lived and learned experience (or peer and clinical experience) creates environments that offer not only the therapeutic skills to manage mental health challenges, but the hope and inspiration that this is possible for everyone.

Our peer team are professionals sharing their own lived experience of mental health challenges to support you in yours.
