BackgroundRecovery Colleges (RCs) represent an approach to enhancing mental wellbeing through education, lived experience and co‐production. Despite their increasing presence, scant literature explores the operationalisation of RCs and their embodiment of co‐production principles. The aim of this scoping review was to investigate the operationalisation of RCs and their application of co‐production in RCs located in high‐income countries over the past decade.MethodsEmploying an established scoping review methodology, searches were conducted across seven academic databases. Ten primary studies met the inclusion criteria. In addition, stakeholders were consulted to validate themes and uncover knowledge gaps.ResultsFindings suggest that RCs are inherently idiosyncratic, adapted to suit local contexts. Discussions persist regarding their optimal institutional contexts and positioning and the interpretation of key terms such as ‘recovery’ and ‘co‐production’, influencing daily operations and stakeholder involvement. Challenges surrounding measuring success against fidelity criteria underscore the need for a broader understanding of RC value and sustainability.ConclusionThis review offers a synopsis of the existing literature offering insights concerning the operationalisation of RCs. Through a synthesis of diverse primary studies, it systematically identifies and describes the operational nuances within the RC landscape and the fundamental elements underpinning RC operations, while shedding light on critical knowledge gaps in both research and practice.So What?This review underscores the importance of a broader understanding of RC value and sustainability, offering insights for both research and practice in the field of mental health and wellbeing. This review highlights the significance of further exploration and refinement of RC operationalisation to enhance their effectiveness and impact in supporting mental wellbeing.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Die Gesundheitsförderung und präventive Krisenprophylaxe sind fundamentaler Bestandteil derzeitiger Mental-Health-Strukturen. Recovery-Colleges, als Institutionen zur Förderung seelischer Gesundheit, leisten in Deutschland bereits einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur mentalen Gesundheitsförderung und individuellen Recovery. Mittlerweile hat sich aus einzelnen Projektstrukturen ein deutschlandweites Netzwerk gebildet. Zielsetzung Die vorliegende Übersichtsarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem bisher noch nicht abgebildeten, aktuellen Umsetzungsstand der Etablierung und primären Verortung von Recovery-College-Strukturen (RC/EC) im deutschsprachigen Raum. Es werden grundlegende Aspekte, Inhalte und Strukturen zum Recovery-College-Konzept und dessen Herkunft aufgezeigt. Dabei werden unterschiedliche Projektmodelle, deren Ausprägungen und Besonderheiten betrachtet. Material und Methoden Aufbauend auf eine Literaturrecherche über die Plattform PubMed zum Thema Recovery-Colleges konnten mittels Online-Befragung über das deutsche RC-Netzwerk (RCN) 11 verschiedene College-Einrichtungen rekrutiert und befragt werden. Ergebnisse Die Auswertung zeigt, dass die College-Einrichtungen nach gleichen Prinzipien strukturiert sind, aber sich z. B. in ihrem Standort, ihrer Refinanzierung und in ihrem Leistungsspektrum an Kursangeboten unterscheiden können. Des Weiteren stehen College-Einrichtungen oft in direkter oder indirekter Verbindung zu professionellen Akteuren des Gesundheitswesens, haben aber auch Anbindungen zu gemeindenahen Einrichtungen, Lehreinrichtungen und Selbsthilfegruppen. Schlussfolgerung Letztlich bedarf es einer verstärkten Aufmerksamkeit, einer kontinuierlichen finanziellen Rahmensubventionierung und weiterer Erforschung, um eine recovery-orientierte Praxis mit dem College-Konzept in Deutschland zu etablieren.
