Recovery Connections on Campus: Developing the #RecoveryFriendlyPledge

During #CollegiateRecoveryWeek, 2023, we look at the progress made in launching the #RecoveryFriendlyPledge across the UK. Between 2022 - 2023, the first two Universities to sign up have put pen to paper on the Pledge, and the conversation around #CollegiateRecovery in the UK is growing.

In this video, we hear the the thoughts and experiences of 10 years of developing the Pledge in the UK. Audio is from Recovery Connections' CEO, Dot Smith, Simon Lee of Sunderland University (via BBC Radio Tees), Dr Wendy Dossett of the University of Chester (via BBC Radio Merseyside), Texas Tech University's Dr Thomas Kimball, and Students in Recovery Lead at Recovery Connections, Adam Petson (via BBC Radio Tees).
