About this session:

Join staff from the Collaborative Learning College to learn about all this program has to offer and have an opportunity to ask questions about the program! The Collaborative Learning College (CLC) is a recovery college that offers free, nonclinical and low-barrier education programs for people who have lived/living experience of mental health and/or substance use challenges.

In keeping with the internationally adopted approach to recovery-oriented education, the courses offered at the Collaborative Learning College are co-created and co-led by people with lived experience of mental health and/or substance use challenges. Through collaboration with community-based organizations, post-secondary institutions and other health services, the CLC aims to support individuals to achieve their self-identified wellness goals, while fostering community and connection.
