My own journey with Recovery College began during a very challenging season in my life, which had a huge impact on my sense of identity and self worth. Though I have experienced mental health challenges for my entire life, the stigma I attached to myself had led me to lose sight of any positive sense of identity, and the many challenges which I already over come. Nevertheless, I found safety within the courses, initially as a student, then a volunteer and now part time employee. I share and make sense of my own experiences by allowing myself to nurture the positive things in myself. It is huge encouragement to be able to share, learn and feel inspired regularly by other people who may be going through their own storms, and are able to bring stories of hope, light and encouragement to each other.

I have worked at the Recovery College since May 2022. I feel honoured that I have been able to support our Autism and ADHD project in Suffolk. It is really rewarding to learn from our attendees and staff. I look forward to directing the development of other projects. In my free time I enjoy drawing and painting.
Danny Brown - Partnership Development Lead
After working in the fitness industry for many years, I joined NSFT in 2009 after a year of travelling and worked on wards with patients providing physical activity sessions. I later joined the Recovery College and coordinated the Norwich area, whilst gaining a master's degree in public health, before becoming the Partnership Development Lead across Norfolk and Suffolk. I am always looking to work alongside other organisations to collaborate and improve how we can help people. I enjoy travelling and woodworking, when I can.
Hope Gunn - Practitioner Tutor
I have worked in mental health services for 7 years since graduating from the University of East Anglia and stayed living in Norfolk, which I love. In these roles, I have specialised in providing psychoeducation groups and 1:1 support to adults and providing CBT for young people in schools/colleges. My favourite courses to teach are our creative ones, I love being able to see people's growth through engaging with their unique creativity and curiosity. My personal interests include, weightlifting, cooking and hiking with my miniature poodle.
Dani - Peer Tutor and Learning Support Adviser
I started attending the Recovery College some years ago after hearing about the service whilst receiving some support from NSFT and it was one of the best things I could’ve done for my mental health and wellbeing. I’ve been on my journey of recovery for a while now and I do believe that it is possible to feel empowered to live a life that is meaningful again. I enjoy going for walks in nature, being with my family and collecting vinyl records. Recovery has taught me that things can and do get better!
ASD / ADHD Suffolk Project:
Rob Barker - Senior Practitioner Tutor
I've been a mental health nurse for 13 years, and have a particular interest in Autism and neurodiversity. I was diagnosed Autistic in 2021 and have embraced that side of me. I joined this project because of my passion for the area. I strongly feel that there should be more support available for neurodiverse people in services.
Dan Reynolds - Peer Tutor and Learning Support Adviser
I was diagnosed with ADHD 2 years ago and have been on a journey of self-discovery ever since. The journey hasn’t been simple, but it has been rewarding. I am looking forward to sharing this with others, and hopefully inspire people that living well with ADHD is possible. I love playing/watching football, spending time with my son and running long distances.
