The Recovery Academy’s brand-new Spring / Summer term starts on Tuesday 7 April 2026. 

Since childhood, Tom from Trafford struggled with a phobia that had an impact on his life. Now 37, Tom shares how he is managing this, with some (rather unconventional) support from Trafford Talking Therapies.

“Without this support, I probably would have dropped out. Instead, I graduated with a First.”

Winter can be a challenging time for many of us. Shorter days and longer nights can affect our mood, whilst colder weather often brings more coughs, colds, and flu. Add to that the financial and social expectations of the festive season, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or run down.

The role of poetry and the creative arts as therapy for supporting wellbeing is being highlighted by a senior peer support worker to mark World Mental Health Day.

Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust’s (GMMH) Recovery Academy is set to kick off its autumn / winter term on 1 October 2025 in timing with the launch of World Mental Health Day on 10 October. 

Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH) has proudly celebrated the 25th anniversary of its Psychological Therapies Training Centre.

Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH) was delighted to welcome the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, for the official re-opening of the Chapman Barker Unit (CBU), its specialist adult inpatient drug and alcohol detoxification service. 

Mental health service users in Greater Manchester are at the heart of a ground-breaking programme to help develop the mental health practitioners of the future.

A striking new piece of artwork has been unveiled in the newly renovated carer’s room at the Rivington Unit, a mental health service, at the Royal Bolton Hospital, celebrating the vital role of carers and volunteers in the community.
