If you are reading this in Moray you will be aware of our work towards a recovery college for the area which we call our ‘Wellness College’. This offers a range of community wellbeing events and courses to inspire change and connect individuals across Moray and is based on local research which you can read about here: Project to Social Enterprise
Recovery colleges are spreading across the country and on Monday 26th February there is to be an event in Inverness to gauge the interest in setting up a recovery college in Inverness. The programme will be the same in the morning and afternoon to allow as many people as possible to attend. The venue is the Centre for Health Sciences, next to Raigmore Hospital. The full programme is listed below.
If you are interested in going along please phone the CMHR on 01463 714518, or email Ann.Patience2@nhs.net
Proposed Inverness Mental Health Recovery College Event
At The Centre for Health Sciences, Raigmore, Inverness.
Monday 26th February 2018.
This event is to take place next to Raigmore Hospital in the building called Centre for Health Sciences. It has parking available (it costs £1.00 on leaving the car park). Buses to Raigmore occur regularly. The building is wheelchair accessible. No BSL interpreter available. Take your own lunch or cafe on site.
This day will deliver the same programme/event in the morning and afternoon to suit everyone’s needs. Please come along to just one session either morning or afternoon. The Wellbeing Marketplace is for everyone to visit so if you like you can stay after the morning session or come early if attending the afternoon session, this is optional. The aim of the day is to tell you about what a Mental Health Recovery College is, and to gauge if there is sufficient interest to establish one in Inverness.
