Peer Plus: Trial of a Novel Model of Digitally Assisted Peer Support for Young People Experiencing Psychosis

This digitally-assisted peer support research project involved developing a lived experience-based digital resource for peer support workers to use in sessions with young people who have an experience of psychosis. A key feature of the digital resource was the use of lived experience peer videos to facilitate conversations in one-on-one peer support work sessions. The overall findings provided initial support for the use of this type of digital resource in peer support work, however further research is needed to clarify how a lived experience-based digital resource could be best implemented into peer support work practice within early psychosis services.
