Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust works with local voluntary organisations across the region to deliver a wide range of courses during the spring, summer and autumn terms.

Each course is co-produced and co-run by peer trainers who are people with personal lived-experience of mental health challenges, alongside mental health professionals.

A prospectus details the wide range of courses available. All students receive a certificate on completion.

Lucy Locks, Trust Lead for Sussex Recovery College said, “We believe the Recovery College will increase the skills and knowledge of people in the community to manage their mental health and wellbeing.
