About our Drop-in Sessions

These relaxed and friendly weekly drop-in sessions welcome anyone over the age of 18. You do not need to book, just turn up, sit quietly or chat with folks over a cup of tea and a biscuit; there is no pressure for you to do anything. There will be resources, creative activities and information that can help you keep well and have hope.

You are not alone.

See below for the locations of our Drop-in Sessions.

About our Recovery Library

The DRLC Recovery Library has fantastic resources about mental health and wellbeing, to inform, encourage and inspire people. Our students and people working in the mental health sector can become members of the library. You’ll find recovery stories, self-help books, general information about recovery, mental health and much, much more. All the resources were funded by a lottery grant from ‘Awards for All’.

Recovery Library Membership

The DRLC Recovery Library is designed to be easy and friendly; it’s free to join.

You can become a member of our Recovery Library via this website, or you can download a form and send it to us by post or email. Alternatively you can come to a library session at one of our regional drop-in sessions and sign-up there. Returning books can be done at our drop-In sessions or put them in the returns box in the St Sidwells Community Centre Cafe, St Sidwell Street, Exeter, EX4 6NN.

You may take out up to 8 books each time and can renew them in person at the libraries, by phone on 01392 677067, or by email at dpn-tr.drlc@nhs.net
