INTERNATIONAL EXPERTISE IN RECOVERY COLLEGES
We have relevant and up-to-date evidence-based knowledge from working with and evaluating sites across the UK and Canada.
We have analysed the data and journeys of over 4,500 users of Recovery Colleges.
Learn the different ways we can support you with design, funding, scaling, implementation, and evaluation of Recovery Cafes.
WHITE PAPER: PEER SUPPORT
This paper sets the foundation of the development of a skilled peer workforce, starting with the CMHA School of Peer Support, and tested through peer practice in their Peer Hub (Welcome Centre) and Recovery College.
While the examples in this paper are specific to these programs, the conclusions drawn reflect the overall approach to peer support and these lessons can be applied to other sites and programs or extended as learnings to new partnerships.
