National Recovery College Survey |
Thank you for your interest in participating in the national Recovery College survey.
Who can take part in the survey?
- Those who have attended a Recovery College offering between January 1st and June 30th, 2026.
- If you completed the survey in January 2026 or before, you are still eligible to participate in this round of data collection.
- Please complete the survey only once during July 2026 (e.g., if you've filled it out online, please do not submit a paper copy, and vice versa).
What does participation mean?
- This survey will take under 5 minutes.
- Throughout the survey, you will find optional open-ended questions where you can share any additional thoughts. Please do not include any personal information, such as names or contact details, in your responses.
- Your participation is voluntary and your responses are anonymous and will not be linked to you personally in any way.
- Your participation and responses will not impact your experience at Recovery Colleges.
What will happen with my answers?
- Your multiple-choice responses will be combined with those from other students at your Recovery College, shared with your Recovery College staff, and summaries may be used in publications, reports, and presentations.
- Anonymous open-ended responses will be shared as written with your Recovery College staff, alongside responses from other students. Anonymous excerpts may also be used as written in publications, reports, and presentations.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools will be used to identify common themes across open-ended responses. Your data will not be used to train AI models.
- Results will be combined regionally and nationally to understand and demonstrate how Recovery Colleges are influencing hopefulness and personal growth across Canada.
- With your feedback, we can improve Recovery Colleges, advocate for funding, and grow the Canadian Recovery College movement!
