Sussex Recovery College and Grassroots Suicide Prevention are nearing the end of the first year of delivering Staying Safe from Suicide, a co-produced course for people in recovery from suicidal thoughts and feelings.
Combining Recovery College's educational, co-production approach with Grassroots' specialist suicide prevention expertise, the course supports students to develop personalised safety plans, strengthen coping strategies and build confidence in managing their wellbeing. Resources from the Stay Alive app are integrated throughout the programme, alongside a specially designed course workbook.
So far, 26 students have attended across three courses. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with all respondents saying the course met or exceeded expectations, and more than half reporting improvements in their mental health following attendance.
The partnership recently presented the project at a national IMROC Action Learning Set, generating interest from Recovery Colleges across the country. The next ambition is to develop a supported package that enables other Recovery Colleges to offer the course safely and confidently.
