The Mid-Essex Recovery College runs free courses and workshops that support people’s mental health recovery. The College provides a safe space for people to learn new skills, expand on existing ones, and attend courses developed to support mental health recovery. Co-production is a core feature of recovery college ethos; our courses are all co-produced by experts with lived experience of mental health, as well as individuals with professional experience of working for mental health services. All our sessions have a ‘Pass or Participate’ ethos where students can contribute as much or as little as they want when they are there.
All our courses are free to attend and open to anyone aged 18 and over who lives, work or studies in the Mid Essex area who have experienced or are experiencing mental health challenges themselves, are supporting someone else with their mental health challenges or who just want to learn more about the topics covered.
As always, we are delivering a varied timetable of courses and workshops both face to face and online.
- This month we have a number of course that are exploring Filmmaking and Photography and their how they can be used to support Mental Health Recovery.
- Our Walking group is beginning to grow and getting out and exploring the Essex countyside
- Carers courses this month include Self Care for Carers and well as Finding your voice as a Carer. Carers may also find the Navigating Services course useful.
- Living Mindfully sessions are running on a Wednesday in Moulsham Mill in Chelmsford

If you are working with someone who you feels would benefit from attending one of our workshops and you would like them to have some support to attend you can either email us or we are on Frontline and you can contact that way. We have supported students to access the college in several ways including them being accompanied to their first session by the professional they are working with.
