"I felt comfortable from the moment I arrived. It's a great idea to learn from other people's lived experience".
At the Recovery Education Centre, we always bring together lived experience and learnt experience on all of our courses. Our courses are about sharing what we know, learning from each other and recognising that everyone has something to contribute. Ahead of , we’re sharing some of the things our students have said about the value of learning from lived experience.

Here at the Dorset Recovery Education Centre we have come to the end of the Summer Term and are very grateful to our team, trainers and students for making it such a special one.

There's no rest here though as we are busy planning the Autumn Term running from the middle of September to the middle of December. We'll be sending this out to all our lovely students later on next month so watch out for your emails or posted copies.

We are very excited to bring a new podcast to the Recovery Education Centre website focusing on ADHD.

In this podcast, our Peer Trainers, Will and Becky chat with our NHS trainer, Marie. Together they reflect on their identify and how this is informed or impacted by their ADHD diagnosis.

This podcast can be found in the Learn Online section of our website https://ow.ly/GRSG50Zk2aO under the ADHD drop down tab.

We plan to explore ADHD and neurodiversity further bringing you more important conversations. If there are any topics you would be interested in hearing about, please contact the REC office on 01202 584478 or email us at [email protected] to let us know.
