Peer support may be defined simply as “offering and receiving help, based on shared understanding, respect and mutual empowerment between people in similar situations”.

Peer Support is about mutual support including the sharing of experiential knowledge and skills and social learning and plays an invaluable role in recovery. Peer Support Workers encourage and engage Service users in recovery. They inspire a sense of belonging and provide supportive relationships. Peer Support workers work with and in community mental health teams to advance personal recovery.
