Courses: Lived experience and professional insights
What makes our courses different?
Our courses are designed and delivered in partnership between people who have lived experience of mental health difficulties and those with professional experience, for example an occupational therapist, nutritionist, employment coordinator or psychiatrist. It’s known as co-production and we feel it helps to offer the best insight and experience possible. Our courses are open to adults experiencing mental health difficulties and the family and professionals who support them.
For individuals experiencing mental health difficulties
Personal growth and change is a natural part of life. But sometimes we don’t know what we need to do in our lives to move forward, especially around mental health difficulties and recovery. Through sharing lived experience and education, we give people the strength and skills to manage their own recovery, and achieve their goals.
For carers, families and friends
Want to understand more? We offer education and insight if you’re supporting a family member or friend with mental health difficulties. You’ll get greater understanding of mental health conditions and experiences and learn how you can look after yourself while supporting your loved one.
For professionals who support people with mental health difficulties
Are you a professional who supports others to manage their mental health? Jersey Recovery College courses teach evidence-based practical skills, tools and knowledge designed and delivered using co-production between people with lived experience and subject matter professionals. Our courses are a valuable source of CPD. In UK recovery colleges, as many as one-third of all students are professionals supporting those with mental health difficulties.

Due to the Governmental update regarding school closures from Monday, we have made the difficult decision to withdraw JRC classroom courses for the rest of this semester.
We appreciate that in the current climate it’s more important than ever for people to have access to mental health and wellbeing support so we’re working hard to come up with alternatives for you. We are hoping to re-programme our courses via a virtual platform and will update you when this is in place.
Please take extra care of your wellbeing just now and do the good things to support your mental health.
