Resources

Collective resources from other Recovery College's and organisations

Our semesters are delivered three times a year, this means at some points of the year we won't be delivering courses to the community. With this in mind we have created a resources page in order to continue supporting you. This page provides resources from other Recovery College's throughout the UK and other organisations.

This page is for educational purposes to be used as part of recovery and is not a substitute for treatment or support. If you need further support, please visit our 'Getting Help' page.
