**Why it matters:** The expansion gives more Suffolk residents the chance to access mental health support and education within their local communities, with courses available to anyone over 16.

**The details:** Three libraries will host live-streamed sessions from Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust's (NSFT) Recovery College:

- Ipswich County Library: Introduction to Understanding Autism (6 February, 14:00-16:30)
- Woodbridge and Bury St Edmunds libraries: Welcome to the Recovery College (18 February, 15:00-16:00)
- Woodbridge Library: Understanding and Managing ADHD (4 March, 14:00-16:00)

**What they're saying:** "Those who came along said they liked the opportunity of sharing with each other and valued it and said it was easier to pay attention in a group of people. They also liked the central location," Dan Brown, Recovery College partnerships development lead, said.

**How it works:** Library staff will be available to support attendees during the sessions. While booking is not essential, it provides access to additional Recovery College benefits.

**The bottom line:** The programme aims to help people invest in their wellbeing and become experts in their own mental health recovery, combining online learning with group support in accessible community locations.
