Re-Co-Co

Re-Co-Co ReCoCo is the Recovery College Collective. Canny people doing canny things for each other. Mental health problems do not exist in a vacuum.

Bringing the voluntary sector and the NHS together in a new and effective way of working in order to:
• To provide a peer led, peer delivered education and support service where people can learn from each
other’s insights, skills and lived experience.
• To nurture a community of troupers and troopers, strivers and survivors, all moving towards a sense of
belonging and acceptance for whom, what and

how they are.
• To enable connection, positive relationship building, mutual support, and friendship.
• To provide opportunities that allow students to aspire to be their best selves, identifying and recognising
their innate strengths and talents and their ability to help others.
• To promote recovery through peer led education and activity.
• To provide a focal point, locally, regionally, and nationally for peer leadership, peer support and recovery
orientated practice.
• To be directed by people who use (or have used) mental health services/experienced mental distress.
• To enable collaboration between mental health service providers and organisations that support these aims

Peer production of:
Courses on self-management, psychoeducation, and life skills

Training of our students in facilitation, community development, peer support work, and volunteering skills. Training for partner and collaborating organisations, their staff and service users.
