Thurrock Recovery College provides a FREE, relaxed, informal education approach to well-being and recovery. We create a safe place where people can come together to learn ways to live healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives.
We aim to help people discover hope, connect to their strengths, resources and abilities and discover opportunities to reach their dreams and aspirations.
The Recovery College is a partnership between its students, Inclusion Thurrock – part of the NHS – and Thurrock Brentwood Mind – a local charity with a proud tradition of helping those experiencing difficulties with their mental health.
Thurrock Recovery College has been offering shared learning opportunities to people who live and work in Thurrock since 2016.
In order to enrol, simply call: 01375 898680 or email us at ThurrockRCollege@mpft.nhs.uk and ask for a registration form.
Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The next step
will be to arrange a one-to-one interview to discuss what you want to gain
from the College and your learning requirements, and together complete
an Individual Learning Plan. Our courses are currently open to anyone who is over 18 and residing in Thurrock or working in a caring or professional role with Thurrock residents.
All courses at the Thurrock Recovery College are currently free to attend for eligible students.
You can apply for up to three courses during any one term. This is to ensure equity, and because most people find up to three courses in any one term to be about right. If there are spaces available, you might be offered another course, though this would need to be discussed while developing your Individual Learning Plan.
Please feel free to contact us on 01375 898680, or email us at ThurrockRCollege@mpft.nhs.uk We are always happy to talk to you regarding any information you may need. Further information about course timetables and venues can be emailed to you or you can look on our website http://recoverycollege.inclusionthurrock.org/
This will depend on the venue. There are also usually public car parks near most of our venues.
Some of the venues will offer tea and coffee, although sometimes this will need to be
purchased depending on the venue’s facilities.
There is no need for a referral; in fact we do not have a system for referrals. Although the College is designed for people with lived and professional experience of mental health services, we operate the same as any other further education establishment. Your local team may recommend us to you but they cannot refer. All are welcome to share their learning journey together with no discrimination or distinction.
Of course! Our courses are designed for anyone who cares for someone, for people who use services, for those who work in them, and those who are simply interested in recovery based learning. We believe that all these different perspectives brought together create the richest learning experience for everyone.
We would love to include any student who is keen to find out more. Please contact us to discuss.
Yes, and we often find that family and friends are keen to enrol in the courses themselves.
Great to see Recovery College listed here. Great stuff!
Thanks so much!
