Hi

In our service we are trying to draw together the stands of peer workers into one comprehensive strategy.  In particular we are starting to look at involving either ex-patients or "graduates" of our group programmes to be involved in the delivery of some of our group's.  Does anybody have an advice, documents, wisdom that they can offer?

Hi Richard

Please find attached some links relating to peer support in mental health. These contain a mixture of websites, articles & documents. It may be that you have seen them - but I hope that they may be of use to some people who read this.

Thanks Tony, that's really helpful. I'll share our strategy once we've written it.
