We usually deliver our courses in different community venues throughout Tower Hamlets. However this term, all classroom-based courses will be held at our college base 86 Old Montague St E1 5NN and all online courses will be hosted via Zoom.
Who are the courses taught by?
What is special about us is that all of our courses are designed and delivered by people who have lived experience of mental health challenges, working together with people who work in mental health services. We call this co-production. Co-production is an equal relationship between people who use services and the people responsible for services. All our courses are co-produced; co-designed, co-delivered, co-received and co-assessed.

“Co-production is an equal relationship between people who use services and the people responsible for services. They work together from design to delivery, sharing strategic decision making about policies as well as the best way to deliver services”.- National Co-production Advisory Group
