Published justification

The Recovery College model is focused on the needs of the person that offers an alternative model of recovery from mental health conditions for people and creates a new pathway for people experiencing mental ill health to learn to recover from illness and live healthy, connected and positive lives,

contributing to communities in a way that benefits both them and society. It will provide a holistic core framework for new and existing training and

engages people furthest from the labour market with learning, employment

and social inclusion. Students will move away from traditional models that put

the onus of recovery on health professionals, towards a model where people

learn about their own mental health and how to self-manage their challenges;

thereby moving them from ‘Patient’ through ‘Student’ to productive employee.

Pentreath are considered the only organisation within CIOS that are able to deliver this service.

The service was designed by a collaborative of statutory and non-statutory services (including VCSE providers) and supports people in mental health recovery. To not continue this support with this provider would cause the collaborative development and interest to fail.
