Whether you have never accessed support for your wellbeing or you have tried services before, we hope that you can find something that empowers you to find new ways of responding to difficult experiences. Wokingham Recovery College is a safe space where you can be yourself, free from judgement.

What we do

We deliver co-produced courses designed to teach skills for self-management of emotional well-being alongside peer support groups. We aim to provide the knowledge and skills for improving understanding of mental health.

Our courses cover a range of well-being related topics. Each course involves taught theory, peer discussion, and activities. A group agreement is in place for all sessions to ensure that everyone feels safe and comfortable.

Course topics include:

Managing Anxiety
Managing Low Mood
Coping with Stress
Being Kind to Ourselves
Understanding Emotions
Improving Self-Esteem and more

We offer a range of peer support groups to facilitate making connections and sharing ideas for improving wellbeing. Peer support groups can reduce loneliness, increase confidence and help you recognise your strengths.
