More than just functioning again: Rethinking recovery
What does it mean to truly recover, instead of just functioning in everyday life? The lecture More than just functioning again invites you on Thursday, October 15, 2026, to the Knowledge Workshop Bielefeld to learn about the recovery approach and view mental health from a personal, self-determined perspective.
Recovery is more than a fixed goal
The focus is on how people can lead fulfilling lives despite psychological stress and experiences of crisis. The event conveys that recovery is not a linear condition or a uniform success model, but a personal path with individual strengths, hopes, and developmental steps.
Discover strengths and regain hope
Participants will gain insights into the key thoughts of the recovery approach. This includes rediscovering personal resources, building hope, and developing a self-determined approach to personal challenges. The lecture is aimed at adults and does not require prior knowledge.
Experience as part of professional health education
The professionals have developed courses on mental health together with people who share their own experiences of crisis. This connects the event experience with professional classification and experiential knowledge in a peer-to-peer encounter. This very connection shapes the organization of the Recovery College Bielefeld.
As part of Mental Health Week
The lecture is part of the SchLaDo Mental Health initiative and the Bielefeld Mental Health Week from October 9 to 16, 2026. On this day, a diverse program focusing on mental health, crises, self-care, and social exchange will be created at the Knowledge Workshop.
Conclusion: A lecture that opens new perspectives
Visitors can expect an accessible impulse on recovery, self-efficacy, and a life beyond mere functionality. Those who want to better understand mental health and learn about the recovery approach will experience an informative and human-centered afternoon in Bielefeld. The free registration secures participation.
