This June, we officially launched. A website and toolkit of information, free to access, for anybody interested in supporting students in recovery. And it’s all several years in the making.
Since the first form of Collegiate Recovery Programme was created in the UK, at Teesside University, momentum around the work has been slowly building. Recovery Connections CEO, Dot Smith, and Dr Ed Day, from the University of Birmingham, both of whom spoke at the launch, have dedicated themselves to ensuring people are able to learn about the potential of this work, for students.
In this video, key elements of the research that went into this work, the background to its presence in the country, and findings from people involved in the project, are available to view.
