RECOLLECT International Research Consortium (RIRC)

 

RECOLLECT International Research Consortium (RIRC) is an international research group advancing research and practice related to Recovery Colleges. The consortium grew out of an international survey of Recovery Colleges conducted by the RECOLLECT Study at the University of Nottingham, UK. Our aim is to maximise the positive impact of Recovery Colleges on mental health recovery of all people involved. The consortium is co-ordinated by Yasu Kotera.

 

We are a research consortium, conducting international and cross-cultural studies about Recovery Colleges. Our second aim is to support the development of a community of practice, by providing links (below) to people in each country where Recovery Colleges are established or being developed.

 

How can I find out more?
