Our Story
The Hampshire & IOW Recovery College is a newly formed service sat within Hampshire & IOW Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. It is formed from two previous colleges, the Southern Health Recovery College, and the Solent Recovery College (formerly delivered by Solent Mind). These previous colleges tended to offer services to residents of Southampton and Portsmouth – we are now pleased to be able to offer support to all those living in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
We are a new college but have trainers with many years of experience. We are working hard to ensure that this college offers an outstanding service across our two counties, and will continue to learn and grow alongside all those who attend our courses.
