Foreword
Welcome to the Summer 2018 prospectus from the Humber Recovery
College.
Humber NHS Foundation Trust continues to support the Recovery College
and our core values of Caring, Learning and Growing, puts the person at the
centre of everything we do.
The Humber Recovery College supports this educational approach to mental
wellbeing, supporting individuals to recognise their own resourcefulness,
talents and abilities in order to support them with knowledge and provide
useful tools enabling them to become experts in their own self-care.
Mental Health professionals, tutors with lived experience, peer-support
workers, volunteers and students themselves co-productively work together
to design and deliver the educational courses and provide resources to
empower mental health service users and those who support them.
Because of this, our courses are innovative, original and relevant to
someone experiencing mental health difficulties.
Michele Moran
Humber NHS Foundation Trust Chief Executive 4
Recovery
Recovery is a personal journey.
You might already have, or are at least developing,
your own definition of what recovery means to you.
By focusing on strengths, abilities and personal
experience, this approach empowers individuals to
work towards their own goals whilst inspiring others to
work towards theirs.
Hope - that it is possible to work towards your own
goals as defined by you
Opportunity - to build a meaningful and satisfying
life irrespective of any illness
Control - over any symptoms you may
experience and of your own future
5
Recovery is...
… finding meaning in your experiences
… finding a new sense of who you are and what your purpose is
… discovering and using your own resources and resourcefulness
… growing from your experiences and taking back a sense of control
… rebuilding a satisfying, hopeful and contributing life
… a person-centred approach to mental wellbeing
… about recognising that each person has a rich lived experience to
bring to the table (both in and outside of healthcare)
Recovery is NOT…
… a theory about what causes mental health problems
… about an end product or result
… about making someone ‘better’
… a linear process
… just for people who have experienced mental health difficulties
… the same thing as a ‘cure’
… a professional treatment or intervention

About the
Humber Recovery
College
The Recovery College uses an educational model and a focus on
lived experience and personal strengths to promote good mental
wellbeing within the community and to challenge stigmas
associated with mental health. Our college welcomes people from
all walks of life and backgrounds, regardless of if they have mental
health difficulties or not.
Students, tutors with lived experience, mental health professionals,
peer-support workers, volunteers and students co-productively
work together to design and deliver original, innovative workshops
and courses to empower and support people who are experiencing
or have experienced mental difficulties, to those who support them
and to those who have an interest in keeping themselves mentally
and emotionally well.
We promote Hope by...
Providing hope-filled courses in a hope-inspiring environment
Offering hope-inspiring relationships
Helping people to make sense of and find meaning in experiences
Helping individuals to recognise and develop their own strengths, talents,
skills and resources whilst developing new skills and understanding
Supporting individuals to share their stories and contribute their skills and
knowledge to help and inspire others with similar experiences
We believe in people and ‘hold’ their hope until they can believe that a
7 decent life and future is possible for themselves
We promote Control by...
Supporting you to find purpose and direction in life by helping you find
new dreams and ambitions and to decide what is important to you
Helping you to become an expert in your own self-care and work out
the ways of managing your problems so they don’t get in the way of
you pursuing your goals
Offering tools and identifying options which could help you manage
your mental wellbeing in a way that best suits you
Encouraging you to recognise your existing strengths, talents, skills
and resources and help you identify how they can best support you on
your recovery journey
Supporting you to decide what sort of help and support you need in
order to follow your ambitions
We promote Opportunity by...
Providing free helpful and inspiring courses and workshops across Hull
and East Riding that have no eligibility criteria
Working with partner organisations and groups to help you have
access to different opportunities
Encouraging you to know that you are a valued member of the
community
Promoting co-design, co-production and co-facilitation within the
Recovery College
Providing the opportunity to help you contribute to the Recovery
College as an idea-giver, peer-support worker or tutor - we’d love for
you to get involved!

caring team of staff, volunteers, peer supporters and
collaborators!

10The Voluntary Services Team organise volunteer placements
across Humber NHS Foundation Trust. A big part of being a
volunteer is talking and listening, encouraging and making
people feel welcomed and supported.
Although volunteering is not the same as work experience it
can provide a valuable insight in to NHS work environments,
enabling you to improve your skills and knowledge. Other
benefits of being a volunteer can include improving
confidence, meeting new people and even improving your
mental health.
Volunteers need to go through the Trust’s usual recruitment
processes including a DBS check (which the Trust will pay for),
and you will also be required to attend a one day induction
before you can start your chosen role.
If you are interested in finding out more about becoming a
volunteer with the Recovery College (or within the Trust in
general), please contact Sam at the Volunteer Services Team

Where do I find the Recovery College? The Recovery College
is not one building. Instead, courses are delivered in partnered venues within the
community across Hull and East Riding using a ‘Hub and Spoke’ model. FAQs
Do I need to be referred into the College? No! The Recovery College does not take referrals as we are
not a service, although healthcare professionals are encouraged to signpost people our way. It is your decision entirely to
become a student, to enrol and determine the course(s) you want to do.
How do I enrol? Simple! You complete an enrolment form and send it back to us along with an enrolment any
course fees. This can be done electronically, via the post or at one of our enrolment days. However, we do not take
telephone enrolments.
Who can access the Recovery College? We are proud to not have an eligibility criteria when it comes to
accessing our courses; you do not need to be ‘recovering’ from illness to benefit from these courses as they can contribute
to your own personal sense of good mental wellbeing.
Is this like school/college? Yes, in so much as you’re learning and you’re a student with us! We
operate in informal, safe, adult educational spaces where mutual respect is important.
Are there parking facilities? We aim to provide venues that are accessible by public transport, and
where possible, ensure there are free or paid parking facilities onsite or nearby. Humber NHS Foundation Trust
is proud to provide free parking at all of its sites. It is advisable that you plan ahead. Any parking fees are the
responsibility of the vehicle owner.How much do these courses cost? We do not charge for our courses. However, we ask for £1 per
person for each enrolment form we receive. Some courses also require us to purchase extra resources so we
also ask students to contribute a small amount towards these costs - details of these can be found within the
course descriptions. These courses must be paid for upon enrolment and are normally non-refundable (feel free
to ring us to check if there’s spaces before enrolling) - you will not be enrolled without it!
How can I pay? You can pay in person (e.g. at Enrolment Days), by cheque or postal order (we advise
against sending cash in the post) or over the telephone to pay by card (once we’ve received your Enrolment Form
through the post/email). You will NOT be enrolled onto any courses until full payment for all monies been received
by the college.
What will I need to bring? Will there be refreshments? Although the tutors will provide the materials
required for the course, it may be helpful to bring a pen and a folder for your notes. We cannot guarantee that
refreshments are available at any of our venues so please bring a drink and any snacks you require. Other
courses will specify that you wear suitable clothing, and others may invite you to bring some of your own
materials. These exceptions will be described under individual course descriptions.
I want to attend a course but I’d prefer it if someone I knew came with me - is that
ok? Of course! Because of our inclusivity, anyone can attend as long as they also enrol. However, we ask that anyone
accompanying a student will actively participate in the course/workshop too!
I have another question - who do I ask? You can ask anyone in the Recovery College team if you see
them during the workshops/courses. You can also look online for information at www.humberrecoverycollege.nhs.uk, contact
us via Twitter (@HFTRecoveryCol) or Facebook (/HumberRecoveryCollege). Ring our office on 01482 389 124 or
email us at hnf-tr.recoverycollege@nhs.net and we’ll do our best to answer your questions!
16Venues
The Humber Recovery College does not
teach out of a specific building (like a ‘regular’ college),
but instead works to a ‘hub-and-spoke’ model. This means that
although the team are based in their offices at Humber NHS
Trust HQ, they travel out to other Trust sites and partnered
venues within the Hull and East Riding community to teach. The
Recovery College is also proud to be working with a number of
teams who deliver courses on behalf of the Recovery College.

19Courses
We pride ourselves on producing and delivering a broad range of
both practical and theoretical courses across Hull and East Riding
with our valued partners. Our courses may help our students take
control over their lives, manage and understand mental health,
help to learn and/or develop skills and/or promote good physical
health and wellbeing. We hope to reduce social isolation by
creating a peer-supportive community within and surrounding the
Recovery College.
Managing and Understanding Mental Health - these
courses aim to develop a better understanding of Mental Health and
the challenges facing people experiencing mental health difficulties,
giving students the context, tools and strategies to apply within their
own recovery journeys
Learning and Developing Skills - these courses (which
are often creative and/or hands-on) look to developing practical skills
from friendly and knowledgeable tutors to build confidence and
promote positive self-esteem and emotional wellbeing
Taking Control - these courses give students the practical
tools, knowledge and confidence with the aim of taking back control
of their lives by supporting future opportunities or otherwise
rebuilding confidence to move forwards within their recovery
journeys
Physical Health and Wellbeing - these courses
encourage physical wellbeing through exercise, healthy eating and
other ways to look after yourself. After all, a healthy body promotes a
healthy mind!!

“At Hull and East Yorkshire Mind we use a ‘Recovery
approach’ to support each person. Through our
workshops we aim to provide ideas and techniques to
enable individuals to take control of their next steps towards their recovery.
This is individual and we therefore use the ‘Five ways to wellbeing’ in all
sessions throughout the 12 week programme (as well as a prior assessment).
This creates a holistic look at different aspects of all our lives.
Some of the topics covered are:
Confidence & assertiveness Food, mood & sleep
Stress and anxiety Managing negative thoughts
Mindfulness & relaxation
These 2 hour workshop topics are based around emotional well-being and
how these can link to our overall mental health, both positive and negative.
The learning styles will include sharing information through: PowerPoint,
hand-outs, group exercises, along with individual and group discussions.
Each participant will receive a folder to store course materials/handouts.
Progress will be tracked using a Mental Health Recovery Star to consider
action planning and personal goals.
