BACKGROUND

The World of Recovery games have been designed with recovery orientation as our framework and foundation. From the very beginning, we have involved mental health and substance abuse recoverers and professionals as well as game designers in the co-design process. We at Lilinkotisäätiö are extremely proud of the scope of this process that has involved more than 100 people and taken more than two years of intensive work.

When playing The World of Recovery games, you too can adventure in the world of hope, friendship, creativity and endless possibilities.
