NEW PAPER ALERT

A study of 31 Recovery Colleges in England 🚨

https://t.co/Y1IgliDAoq

Uncovering behind the scenes stories of how Recovery Colleges are built, powered by recovery pioneers and sustained through creativity and resilience.

[Simran Kaur @Marquee__Moon]

Managers across 31 Recovery Colleges were interviewed to gain a sense of what’s it like to be on the ground delivering a mental health initiative that can often face a lot of resistance and is pitted against mainstream mental health services

[RECOLLECT @RECOLLECT_Study]

Great to see such innovate and exciting research around Recovery Colleges. Recovery Colleges operate outside of western cultural ideals and it doesn’t mean they are less effective, just different.

[Dr Yasuhiro Kotera @YasuKotera]

Great to see our Delphi protocol, contributed by experts from 30+ countries to make Recovery College tools more culturally inclusive, featured in @UniofNottingham press release! Many thanks to the press team 🙏

When it comes to mental health recovery, culture really does matter. Take a look at a summery of our paper which explored how Recovery Colleges work in accordance with specific cultural values e.g. collectivism vs individualism.

Very interesting insight showing how factors which are valued within particular cultures (e.g. group harmony within Chinese culture), directly impacts on how Recovery College mental health interventions are run
