Description
Laura Kane and six co-authors explore in 2024 how peer supporters in mental health services experienced a training program built with them, about their own well-being. Peer workers carry services on lived experience, yet their own mental health is often ignored by employers and by themselves. Ten peer supporters in north-east England were interviewed after the course.
Three themes emerged. Training left them readier for hard topics like aggression and suicide, and surer in their roles. Sharing the course exposed how lonely the job can be and built their own support ties. Finally, they wanted to keep growing in the role. Programs that train the supporters' resilience, the study argues, protect both staff and the people they serve.
