Recovery Colleges are low‐barrier, generally co‐produced education programmes focused on mental health and wellness. Designed to support individuals on their personal recovery journeys, they provide a meaningful setting to explore the impacts of co‐production. Objective This co‐produced study explored the impact of co‐production within recovery‐oriented programming using a photovoice methodology. Photovoice captured the lived experiences and expertise of people involved in Canadian Recovery Colleges as curriculum designers, facilitators and/or students. Method A sample of 21 participants with co‐production experience took part in seven photovoice workshops. These culminated in a final photo submission that illustrated how co‐production has impacted them. Eighteen participants completed a focus group discussion on the topic, which was audio recorded, transcribed and analysed using codebook thematic analysis. Results Five themes were generated from the data. Participants found that co‐production (1) reduced stigma, (2) provided a space to collectively share lived experience, (3) helped them develop a sense of belonging, (4) helped them advance their personal recovery journeys and (5) supported their personal growth. Conclusions This study demonstrated that co‐production in Recovery College settings has a wide range of positive impacts for the individuals involved, across a range of personal factors. The co‐production of services, programme development and research can create positive meaning for those involved in mental health and substance use health settings, as well as potentially other broader health settings, which may aid in their recovery journeys. Patient or Public Contribution A Recovery College research subcommittee, including individuals with lived experience of mental health and/or substance use challenges, co‐produced every phase of this study. 10.1111/hex.70441 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
