For our Autumn term, courses will be running from mid-September until mid-December 2026.

The timetable is shown below.

This term will include a mixture of face-to-face courses across Dorset, alongside our standard and enhanced webinars.

To book onto any webinars or face to face courses you need to be registered and enrolled with us. If you are already enrolled as a student and would like to access a course please contact us, and subject to availability we will be able to book you a space. 

Please remember spaces are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis. Please think about how you can pace your learning and limit the number of course sessions you book to around 5-6 per term. For example, you may choose to do six courses that are only one session each or one longer course of four sessions along with a couple of one session courses. (We understand that our Understanding Unusual Experiences course is 8 sessions so this is an exception).

This will give valuable time to put in place some of your learning and follow up any self-directed learning. As we have limited course numbers, it also allows more people to attend each term. If you would like to find out more or have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate in contacting the REC office.

For more information please contact the office on 01202 584478 or email dhc.recovery.educationcentre@nhs.net.
