Amazing, please check out this new website and resource! Collegiate Recovery Programmes, or CRPs, are designed to support students and staff who strive for recovery from substance use, alcohol, or behavioural addictions, while achieving success in higher education. CRPs create environments within existing campus cultures, and wellbeing programmes, where people in recovery feel safe, supported and valued. Research from the 150+ CRPs in the United States has found that CRPs contribute to both successful recovery from addiction, and improved academic outcomes when compared to the general student population. While CRPs are often different from university to university, these predominantly peer-led programmes include features such as recovery-friendly events, spaces and accommodation, opportunities to challenge addiction-related stigma, and enhance the scope of existing student wellbeing and support services Zoe Faragher-Thomas Victoria Seed Lucinda Jenkins Johnny Graaff Rupert Syme John Elford John McKeown Paul Flynn Johan Sorensen Jaz Dalrymple Deirdre Boyd Lee FitzGerald Talitha Fosh MBACP FDAP Tanya Haynes James Hitchen Richard Coltart Richard Turrell Seán Wood Start2Stop
