Clarendon Recovery College

About Clarendon Recovery College

Clarendon Recovery College (CRC) is available to people who are interested in knowing more about maintaining their own wellbeing and good mental health, or the mental health of people they know. Our courses are free for all Haringey residents aged 18 and over. 

CRC is particularly aimed at people who are interested in knowing more about maintaining their own wellbeing and good mental health, and/or want to support the wellbeing of those around them. A growing number of our courses are co-produced and delivered by people with lived experience of mental illness and by mental health practitioners.

Summer 2025 programme

Important: we are running a reduced service at the moment as we are currently in the process of moving to a new site at Canning Crescent. We are aiming to start providing a full service from August 2025. A full course guide will be published once we are in the new space
