Creating Learning Opportunities for Adults with Mental Health Problems in Rochdale

Abstract

Lack of opportunities in further education for people with mental health problems in the Borough of Rochdale prompted a small group of mental health workers from a range of agencies to develop an innovative partnership with the local further education college to research and create new education opportunities in 1997/1998. To date over 50 users of mental health services who hitherto would not have accessed mainstream further education services have participated in a range of newly established courses.
