What is Peer Work?
Mental health Peer Work is a mental health worker who has a first-hand lived experience of mental illness and recovery. A peer worker may intentionally draw on their lived experience when it is helpful to the person they are working with, to provide hope, share learnings, make the person feel less alone and "other", among many other things.
PeerPower Recovery Coaching is based in WA, but this video from the NSW Mental Health Commission provides a good summary about peer work.
Your PeerPower Recovery Coach has lived experience of mental illness and recovery and has also been trained in Intentional Peer Support (IPS) among other mental health training. For more information about IPS, see https://www.intentionalpeersupport.org/what-is-ips/?v=b8a74b2fbcbb.
