Understanding Depression
2026-07-14 10:00 - 13:00 (Europe/London) | The Straw Bale, Restore, Manzil Way, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX4 1YH, United Kingdom
This course provides a chance to think about what depression is like and how it affects someone’s life, as well as an understanding of what causes depression and how to respond to it.

The course will examine personal experiences to illustrate that depression is not an isolated experience and that it is possible to recover and maintain wellbeing.

Nurturing Hope (Part 2)
2026-07-14 10:30 - 12:00 | Location: Online
This is a course for anyone keen to strengthen a sense of hope, whether you feel you are struggling to find hope at the moment, or if you feel like you have a small amount of hope but would like to increase it. We look at how we can define hope and how we can look for it using our five senses. We introduce the concept of making a hope box. In Week 2, we explore how hope is related to reaching achievable goals and we share with each other things which inspire us.

Mindful Walk
2026-07-14 14:00 - 16:00 | Elder Stubbs, Rymers Lane, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX4 3DY, United Kingdom
Mindful walks are a chance to slow down, get outside and appreciate the beauty of nature. We’ll go at a slow, gentle pace and pause regularly to pay attention to what’s around us.

Managing Self Doubt (Part 3)
2026-07-15 19:00 - 20:30 | Location: Online
(3 Parts Online) This course is for anyone keen to learn more about self-doubt and how to live with it better. Self doubt feeds anxiety and can have a huge impact on our mental health and wellbeing. Together we explore the impacts it can have and what we can do to manage it. There is a practical emphasis and we hope that students will leave feeling more able to manage their own self-doubt, and/or to better support others who experience it.

Summer Wellbeing Event
2026-07-16 10:00 - 12:00 | ORC at Restore Banbury, 28 Calthorpe Street, Banbury, Oxfordshire, OX16 5EX, United Kingdom
At the end of each term we offer an informal workshop which provides an opportunity to take part in a creative activity and a chance to reflect on the term gone by. These workshops are more informal than other courses and aim to build on a sense of connection within our ORC community

Managing Healthy Relationships (Part 2)
2026-07-16 10:00 - 13:00 | The Straw Bale, Restore, Manzil Way, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX4 1YH, United Kingdom
Connection with others is vital for human survival, but when poor mental health affects us, or those around us, relationships can be more challenging to nurture and maintain. In this course we will explore different types of relationships, and look at some strategies for good communication and maintaining healthy boundaries to help us build positive connections.

End of Year Celebration Event
2026-07-17 14:00 - 16:00 | The Straw Bale, Restore, Manzil Way, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX4 1YH, United Kingdom
At the end of the academic year we run a celebration event for all students, the head of the college reflects on the year gone by and we hear from one of our students or newly trained tutors about their time at ORC over the last 12 months. Students can take part in a creative activity or just chat and connect with fellow students. It is more informal than other courses and the aim is to build on a sense of connection within our ORC community. This event is run on a bigger scale than our usual End of Term Wellbeing events but students still need to book a place in the usual way as numbers are limited.
