Article Synopsis
- Recovery Colleges (RCs) are special communities that help people recover from mental health issues through learning, but their success in different cultures is not well studied.
- Researchers looked at 169 RCs from various countries to see how cultural differences affect how well they operate.
- They found that RCs work best in cultures that are more individualistic and indulgent, but it's important to consider other cultures to make these programs better for everyone around the world.
Background: Recovery colleges were developed in England to support the recovery of individuals who have mental health symptoms or mental illness. They have been founded in many countries but there has been little international research on recovery colleges and no studies investigating their staffing, fidelity, or costs. We aimed to characterise recovery colleges internationally, to understand organisational and student characteristics, fidelity, and budget.
