Want to develop peer roles in your service or organisation?
Only got 20 minutes? There’s still lots you can cover with your team using this free conversation starter kit.
Peer support is making a positive difference in services, crisis support and our wider mental health system. The services and organisations we work with tell us that developing peer roles has been transformational.
Early conversations with your team are essential if you’re thinking about introducing peer support into an existing service. By doing this you can create an environment that welcomes peer support. That recognises peer support roles as a way to mutually complement what you are already delivering.
A Peer Worker is a tangible, living, walking, breathing symbol of hope simply because of the words Lived Experience.

This resource is handy way to introduce key themes before going on to use our Let’s Develop Peer Roles toolkit. A chance to dip your toe in the water and test out some thinking.
