Our Kick Starting Your Recovery courses are for people with lived experience of mental health and/or addiction difficulties who are new to the Recovery Academy.

You do not have to start your Recovery Academy journey with these courses, but if you are unsure what recovery is, what it means for you, what the Recovery Academy can offer you, or perhaps feel like you have low self-esteem, then these courses may be a good starting point.

We have a team of volunteers who can support you to develop your own individual learning plan (ILP) so you get the most out of your time with us.
