What is a Recovery College?
A Recovery College is a place where people learn about mental health, recovery, and wellbeing through shared conversations. At SOAR, our courses are co-produced by professionals, people with lived experience, and caregivers — because everyone has something to learn and teach.
Stories from our community
Recovery looks different for everyone. These are stories from people in and around the SOAR community — shared to remind us that mental health struggles are often carried quietly, but when brought into the open, they become something we can all learn from.
Outreach numbers
SOAR began as a small experiment in 2018. Since then, the work has grown through volunteers, partners, facilitators, and participants who believed these mental health conversations were worth having. Here's what happens when lived experience leads the way.
