| Abstract: | The proverb ‘a problem shared is a problem halved’ has been habitually used as people share concerns with persons of trust to seek support. This forms the foundation of peer support which is when “people with experience of mental distress support each other as people of equal value and on a reciprocal basis, using peer support techniques and tools they have acquired during their own wellbeing journey and through…training” (Stamou, 2014, p. 169). This has evolved in an innovative mental health recovery approach. |
