HUMBER NHS FOUNDATION TRUST is to hold a free event showcasing its
latest innovation in mental health in HULL and the East Riding.Guest
speakers will visit the University of Hull and explain how the Trust
is offering courses designed to give people hope, opportunity and
control over their own lives.
The talks, scheduled to be held on 8 May at Middleton Hall, will
outline how this new approach, known as the Recovery College, will
enable those who enrol to find their own way to better health.
Michele Moran, Chief Executive of Humber NHS Foundation Trust, said:
“We are delighted to be taking our next steps with our Recovery
College and we hope this event will bring more people on the journey
with us, by sharing the ethos behind it.
“We’ll be updating people on what we’ve achieved so far and what
our vision is for the future. I’m looking forward to hearing from
the speakers we have lined up and I’m sure those who attend will
find them thought-provoking and interesting.”
Speakers at the event will include:

health services in Hull and the East Riding. David will speak about
the link between the voluntary sector and the public sector, in

Recovery College.
Camille Edmonds, the Trust’s lead for the Recovery College, said:
“This is a wonderful platform to raise awareness of the great work
of the Recovery College and celebrate the partnership we have with
Hull University.
“It's an absolute privilege to be able to welcome our inspiring
speakers to share their experience with us and talk about why a
self-directed recovery can be as beneficial and supportive as a
service-led recovery.”
Martin Batstone, Head of Student Support at the University of Hull,
said: “Our interest in the partnership with the Recovery College is
two-fold. Unashamedly we value the opportunity to signpost students
who would benefit from a programme of focused learning and creative
space in order to better manage and resource their lives.
“We also recognise that the University is a wonderful place of
learning and this partnership offers us the chance to give something
back to the community and hopefully inspire people to consider their
own capacity to learn and succeed in life.”
The event is free to attend, open to all and refreshments and a light
lunch will be provided.
