Anxiety or depression can be very lonely.I never thought I’d want to join a group session. My first session at new leaf bought home to me that I wasn’t alone and that other people have some of the same struggles.

I never realised just how much I was missing by not living in the moment. This has inspired me to join the full mindfulness course.

I used to be afraid to tell employers about my challenges, but their employment seminar gave me the encouragement I needed. Whilst working for the college, I have received amazing support. Sharing about my needs has completely transformed the way I experience things and I no longer feel ashamed about my challenges. Thank You for great support and an inspiring seminar; highly recommended.

The breakout groups were great. it was a lovely supportive group that were very friendly. Listening to a person whom has been through and others that are currently going through aspects where they hope to have a dream. The ideas and links to thinks that could help you.

The tutor and expert by experience were both fabulous and had great personal experience. It was lovely to be able to see the other participant’s faces. I enjoyed working in the same group for the 3 break out rooms as we got to know each other a little and see each other’s progression throughout the course

The manner in which the tutors presented the course was very knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly. The slides they referred to where well written and user friendly. The topic itself was amazing, especially the bit explaining how stress and anxiety relates to pain in the biochemical sense

The facilitators were welcoming and Kind. Use of life experience and sharing their knowledge. Allowing us to contribute and to interact in the course.

I have been a student of New Leaf Recovery and Wellbeing College since last June. After applying to become a volunteer I also decided to join The student development programme. Over six-sessions which I am currently partaking in, I have really enjoyed learning from other students in our small group. We each set learning goals before the workshops in an Individual Learning Plan (ILP). This gives us a focus to work towards. It’s helped me to discover my potential and I have gained experience fr

Meeting others on the course reduced the isolation I was feeling. These courses helped me regain control over my life and have enabled me to change my own outlook and situation. Since joining the college, I’ve rediscovered my identity, improved my sleep, gained the confidence to return to work, taken on new personal challenges, explored boundaries, overcome relationship barriers and regained my sense of purpose. I’m grateful for the caring tutors as well as the other students who have become

Really useful and helpful; great tutors with a good knowledge of the subject who included us all in discussion.

A prescription for happiness.

Useful information imparted and the realisation I am not alone.

The course was exceptionally comprehensive, stimulating and encouraging.

Invaluable help to understand yourself. I would recommend New Leaf Recovery and Wellbeing College to anyone.

I’ve wanted to put into words just how much the college and team have helped me. But honestly, I still don’t think words could describe it." "At first for me it was just a curiosity, to attend one session on Spirituality; to connect with other individuals and gain new perspectives. But it turned into so much more than I could ever have imagined and I’m so glad it did!

Great courses, Tutors and class supports all excellent. Really helping me in my recovery.

I love that the college operates in a way that naturally challenges attitudes and seeks to reduce the stigma associated with mental health.

The tutors were friendly and knowledgeable. I like that the college does not refer to our symptoms as 'conditions

I am not known for my sense of direction, both in the literal sense and my life path. Having become a student of New Leaf Recovery and Wellbeing College. I can now see a way out of the metaphorical paper bag. The college has opened my eyes to many new paths.

I liked structure of the course, the tutors and the personal story!

I find all the courses I have attended to be very informative

Really opened my eyes to what I need to do to improve my wellbeing; facilitators very knowledgeable. A light bulb moment was when the Tutor said "Depression doesn't define who you are'

I highly recommend all of these courses and have found them so helpful during my recovery. I have also met some fantastic people!
