SUMMER TIMETABLE Summer Term 2019
Welcome to the Recovery Education Centre The Recovery Education Centre is delivered by the Wellbeing and Recovery Partnership (WaRP) formed between Dorset HealthCare (NHS) and Dorset Mental Health Forum (a local peer led charity). All our courses have been co-designed and are co-delivered by a NHS member of staff and a Peer Trainer, who has lived experience. By bringing together people’s expertise of living life despite challenges alongside professional expertise our courses aim to provide a holistic view of Recovery and wellbeing. This timetable provides the details of the courses running in the specified term. There is an accompanying prospectus which can be obtained and includes further information about the Recovery Education Centre and course descriptions. The key aims of the Recovery Education Centre are to empower students to find hope, to gain control by building on strengths and skills and to embrace opportunities. The prospectus is divided into each of these three elements with courses that explore in more detail the role of hope, control and opportunity in Recovery. The courses are free to attend; they are open to anyone living in Dorset aged 18 and over.

14 REACH – Sports and Leisure
Alongside education, sharing, and learning, we recognise and value the importance of activity and social contact within Recovery. The REACH project provides a programme of sport and leisure activities facilitated by the Dorset Mental Health Forum. Every activity is supported by a Peer Worker, typically someone who has attended some of the programme themselves. The aim of REACH is to get people active and involved in fun activities within a friendly, social environment. Often the sessions lead to friendships, supportive peer networks and help build confidence and improve self-esteem.
The group has helped me so much in a big way. I’m starting to feel a lot more comfortable being around new people and I have a wonderful “safe place to go to every week to have a bit of fun and to let off some steam. Every person is so welcoming and understanding and I have never felt more at home walking into a place such as that. It feels amazing to know that I am not alone with the mental health issues I have and that I can speak to other people with similar issues and not feel judged. The two peers have welcomed me with open arms even from the first moment.”
Sometimes you might need a little support the first time you attend as meeting new people can be a challenge. We welcome anyone that comes along to support you and they are also welcome to join in if they wish. We do find that once people have attended it tends to get easier as other people are so welcoming and supportive.
My son attends the football and social groups. He suffers with high anxiety usually making attendance at such groups virtually impossible “for him. He is now making friends and enjoying the camaraderie of the social group. Recently he attended without support, a first; this was largely due to the warm, friendly, inclusive approach without any pressure from the peer.”
Many attending comment on how they find our groups to be an important part of their Recovery, helping them to get their lives back on track. People often go on to organise other activities such as walks, cycling, meals out, quizzes and day trips. Many move on to other things including volunteering and/or employment and some call back to join in on their days off. For more information please contact the REACH team by:
