Peer support in mental health care: This report argues that using peer support workers to support the recovery of people with mental illness can add significant value to mental health services, sometimes at no extra cost. The research, which is published in two separate papers, examines the value of peer support workers in supporting recovery. Peer support workers draw on their own experiences of mental illness and support others using services in their own recovery journeys. The research examines evidence relating to outcomes, financial cost and effectiveness both in England and internationally.
