Responding to a growing understanding surrounding the unique knowledge and skill set of individuals with lived experience of mental health conditions, this book responds to a gap in current literature by exploring the role of peer support work through the four realms of theory, research, policy and practice with a particular focus on mental health discourses.
Filled with practical case studies and guidance on the most effective approaches to peer support work, chapters support readers in building their knowledge of:
- The theoretical models of peer work including historical underpinnings, benefits and drawbacks, and the ontological, epistemological basis for lived experience as a knowledge sub-set.
- The research behind the value of experiential knowledge, models of peer support work, ethical dilemmas and how peer support work relates to traditional mental health discourse.
- The policy developments in relation to peer support work.
- Peer support work in practice, including work with families, support work specialisms and current guidance on best practice.
A must-read read for those working within mental health services, this book provides a comprehensive guide to peer support work for mental health professionals, programme managers, peer support workers and service users.
