About us

Leeds Recovery College offer a range of free courses and workshops which focus on mental health and improving wellbeing and are open to all adults who live, work or study in Leeds. We offer a range of free courses and workshops which focus on mental health and improving wellbeing.

Our courses are co-designed and co-led by people who have had or are living with mental health challenges, who work alongside lots of different health professionals, teachers and trainers to run workshops with us.

We hope that this ‘lived’ and ‘learnt’ experience brings a mixture of perspectives into our training and creates a welcome and friendly environment for learning.

We deliver awareness workshops, wellbeing course and ‘retreats’ for people who would like to learn more about mental health and wellbeing (diagnosis or not).
