Recovery College: What is recovery?

<p>This is our first podcast from the NSFT Recovery College - Sarah Kennard the recovery college tutor for Great Yarmouth and Waverney is joined by Sharn a peer tutor for Ipswich and Bury and Mark the recovery college locality lead for West Norfolk. They are talking big subjects like connections - little connections and being connected with yourself and understanding how you feel. Identity - talking about how the illness can overtake your identity - especially when you initially get a diagnosis. They also cover meaning, empowerment and hope with lots of lived experience advice to help you on your way with your recovery.</p><br><p>Recovery College web page: https://www.nsft.nhs.uk/Get-involved/Pages/Recovery-College.aspx</p><br><p>Please do keep in touch with us, let us know what you would like to hear featured because this podcast is about mental health and you.</p><br><p>Twitter @NSFTtweets</p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NSFTrust/</p><p>Email: NSFT.communications@nsft.nhs.uk and put podcast in the subject line.</p><br><p><strong>Music</strong></p><p>Title: Soft Glitch Logo License: Business License, Commercial, ASCAP&nbsp;</p><p>Publisher: OV Soundtracks Composer: Oscar A.
