Western Trust Recovery College launches Spring/Summer 2026 prospectus

The Western Trust Recovery College has officially unveiled its new Spring/Summer 2026 prospectus, offering a comprehensive range of free educational workshops dedicated to mental health and wellbeing.

The new term will bring popular courses to five key locations across the Trust area, running in Derry, Limavady, Enniskillen, Omagh, and Strabane. In a move to increase accessibility, the College is also offering some online evening sessions, for those who are interested in our workshops but are unable to attend in the daytime due to other commitments.

Introducing the start of the Spring/Summer 2026 Recovery College programme, Roisin O’Hanlon, Western Trust Recovery College Coordinator said: “I am delighted to welcome everyone to our free mental health and wellbeing education workshops. I am excited promote a wide range of workshops to our students this term. I believe the College has an important role to play in the recovery and maintenance of our mental health and wellbeing and I am happy to be part of that!

“The Recovery College continues to offer mental health and wellbeing workshops for everyone throughout the Western Trust area – whether you have a mental health diagnosis or not; whether you care for someone with mental health difficulties or whether you want to increase your knowledge and skills around looking after your mental health and wellbeing, please consider giving our sessions a try.
