The path to a new profession, the path to a new struggle
by Ainhoa García Gómez
Professionals and mutual support agents will discuss experiences of applying peer-to-peer in different national and international territories, analyzing the successes achieved, the difficulties and challenges posed by these projects, and the personal experience of participating in them.
Are you a person with a mental health problem, a family member or someone in your close circle, if you work in the social, health and mental health field, or if you are interested in learning more about peer -to-peer support projects?
The mental health recovery model focuses on the personal, unique, and multidimensional process of changing attitudes, values, feelings, goals, skills, or roles of the person affected by a mental health disorder. This process will allow them to live a fulfilling and hopeful life despite the limitations that the mental disorder itself may cause. Some ways to apply this model include mutual support (creating and facilitating self-managed mutual support groups), training and awareness-raising for mental health professionals, and peer support.
Peer support involves training and integrating people with lived experience of mental illness into the healthcare system. These peer support workers collaborate with individuals with mental health problems by providing direct support (connecting them to resources, building trust-based relationships, sharing common experiences, facilitating group activities, among others) or indirect support (e.g., communicating with the team, providing supervision, or obtaining or verifying information), as well as fostering relationships with other professionals on the team.
