History of WA Recovery College Alliance
On Monday 2 December 2019, the Deputy Premier, Minister for Health and Mental Health, the Hon. Roger Cook, announced that HelpingMinds® has been awarded the contract to open Western Australia’s first funded Recovery College.
It will be a state-wide college, aiming to give everyone in WA the opportunity to use and benefit from the service. Recovery Colleges are a community resource, made by the community through co-design, for the community.
The Mental Health Commission has appointed HelpingMinds® to lead the project, partnered with a group of organisations to roll out the Recovery College across Western Australia, meaning it will be accessible to people in regional areas.
The Recovery College will put people first, and their recovery at the centre of their learning. The Recovery College will be open to the whole community to come together to learn and share knowledge about mental health or addiction to alcohol and other drugs, including consumers, carers, families, clinicians and interested community members.
