Recovery College Online, part of Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust, provides hundreds of online educational courses and useful resources through its website and e-learning platform.
They are aimed at people who need support with mental health issues, their families and friends, mental health professionals or anyone interested in learning more about mental health and wellbeing.
All this week, we’re celebrating Autism Acceptance Week 2024 (2 to 8 April 2024), and you’ll find lots of free resources about autism for parents and carers, mental health professionals, children and young people including:
- Information about what autism is
- A worksheet to support the emotional and wellbeing of autistic people
- Information about what it’s like to be autistic
- Information about autism in young people and where to get further support
- Autistic burnout and how to prevent it happening
The college also offers a free online course on ADAPT: After Diagnosis of Autism Parent support Training. The online educational courses are developed by experts and those with personal experience of mental health difficulties. Anyone can access them and there is no referral needed, you just need to create an account. Courses are online and available 24/7 so can be completed in your own time around family and work commitments, and at your own pace.
Recovery College Online is available worldwide and you don’t have to live in the Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust area to access its resources.
