Mental Health Peer Support Workers offer practical support to people going through similar kinds of experiences.
They can use their own lived experience to connect with people and help by:
• Giving a sense of hope and wellbeing.
• Supporting to gain a sense of control over their lives.
• Helping people to identify their strengths and build resilience.
• Help people learn ways to cope.
• Help set goals for recovery.
• Help’s people connect with community resources and support networks.
We work in the most suitable and comfortable place for the person.
This could be:
• Local drop-in groups and cafes.
• As part of community and voluntary organisations.
• In a client’s home.
• Health Centres.
• Clinics.
• GP Practices.
• Community Hubs.
