The following information has been put together to further support your team in understanding the application of peer support and its benefits.

Peer Support in Mental Health by Emma Watson

The first UK text that focuses on peer support, this book manages to combine an intellectual, research-based approach with sensitive values, leading to a text that is accessible and practical. It does not shy away from the complexities of the role, function and nature of peer support, nor does it offer easy answers, yet the compassion, personal lived experience and humility of the editors shines through every chapter! – Dr Julie Repper, Director of ImROC, UK
