Promoting Recovery, Supporting Wellbeing, Inspiring Hope

As part of St Andrew's Healthcare, REDS Recovery College offers recovery-focused educational courses to support wellbeing and recovery.

We help people better understand a wide range of mental health issues, learn self-management techniques and gain skills to give them hope for the future.

The college takes an educational approach to improving mental health that compliments and supports our clinical services. We value lived and clinical experience as equal voices. Our trainers have a wide range of professional experience as well as personal insight of mental health challenges so that each course is authentic and centred on real life experience.

We champion lived experience and co-production in all that we do. All our courses are fully co-produced and are co-delivered and co-attended wherever possible.  All learners are treated as equal and may be patients, staff, partners in care, as well as members of the public on our open courses. By removing labels, such as diagnoses and job titles, we create a rich learning environment based on respect and equality.

Our focus is on strengths rather than challenges, on empowerment, inspiration and wellness.
