How to join a Microsoft Teams session:
- 15 minutes before the session start time click on the link we email you a day before the course (check your junk folder if you don't see it)
- You can also open 'Joining a C&I Recovery College Online Workshop' in the Downloads and follow the steps
- Teams will check with you whether you prefer to join in a browser (Edge, Chrome) or in an app on a mobile device like phone or tablet. You don't have to install anything or register. Generally, however, some report better results if you have an app or use a registered Teams account.
- Test the link - confirmation email has the MS Teams session link. Click it. See what happens. Test it on your device so you know what to expect. See how to turn your mic and camera off and on. Don't worry, the link will work ok on the date of the session.
Recovery College Learning Guidance Conversation (LGC) Telephone support
Do you need support choosing a course, or help with a learning goal? We offer students a 30-minute telephone conversation (max 2 calls per student per term) to support your recovery journey and learning goals. We will talk about the course guide, setting learning goals, signposting and discuss self-care and coping skills. Tick the LGC box on our enrolment form or contact us and our Peer Learning Worker or one of our tutors will call you to arrange a Learning Guidance Conversation.

They are lively, aspirational and interactive. We aim to empower people in practical ways by teaching them self-care tools to improve their wellbeing.
