This course ties in nicely with our ‘journaling for wellbeing’ course, if you liked one why not try the other….

Please ensure you let the College know at the time of booking if you have any dexterity issues or other concerns around using smaller pieces of equipment. Our crafting sessions often use equipment that may be more challenging to use with dexterity issues (such as pencils, pastels, sewing equipment or paintbrushes) and if informed in advance, we are able to make our sessions fully accessible for those with additional crafting support needs.
Already enrolled with the College? Then just give us a call on 01924 316946 or email wakefieldrecoverycollege@swyt.nhs.uk to book on to the course.
