Wakefield Discovery College
Drury Lane Health and Wellbeing Centre, Drury Lane, Wakefield, WF1 2TEDescription
Wakefield Discovery College opened in 2022 as part of the NHS offering support for people age 16-25.
We run short courses and one off workshops across the whole of the Wakefield district to support you to; understand and manage health conditions, find new skills and interests, build strengths and inner resources, engage in physical activity and become an expert in your own self-care.
Our sessions are from a non-clinical focus and are co-produced and co-facilitated by experts in their field and peers with lived experience. Our sessions are developed with partners in the community, charities, Trust staff and volunteers.
We are open to anyone - if you want to improve your own wellbeing or knowledge in a particular area, enrol with us! You do not need to be in poor health to start your journey. You might want to support yourself or think that gaining knowledge and skills would benefit someone else, everyone is welcome.
The College encompasses all health and wellbeing, both physical and mental, through education, learning and peer support. Recovery is a personal journey which means something different to each of us but you are not alone!
We are not postcode restricted and no referral is required! You can enrol on our website, over the phone or via a paper form. This will lead on to a conversation with a member of our team to complete an Individual Learning Plan to understand your specific needs and book you on to our sessions.
All our sessions are free of charge and you are able to access one or more of our courses at a time.
You can be part of our community for as long as you like but our aim is to support you to access community services when you feel ready. Many of the volunteers who facilitate our sessions were once students at the College, so in time and with growing confidence the opportunities are endless!
