About The Program
CMHA Toronto Recovery College provides an innovative learning space where anyone can access free courses, webinars, workshops and events to support their personal recovery in mental health and wellbeing. It helps participants establish social connection, hope and optimism, identity, meaning and empowerment through education and skills training.
Recovery College is modeled after a traditional college, with large course offerings and a vibrant learning environment. But there are no tests at Recovery College—admission is free and everyone is welcome. It’s designed to be a supportive learning environment, where participants are welcome whatever their mental health goals. They may:
- Have a mental illness or a mental health challenge, including a substance use issue
- Be on a personal recovery journey, or support someone who is
- Be looking for skills to enhance their self-care or overall sense of wellbeing
- Need to develop a little confidence in facing life’s challenges
Whatever their reason, we are confident participants will find the right course for them, within an empowering learning environment where the people are genuine and the knowledge is practical.
