We are excited to announce and co-host the following webinar, “Peer Support Services for the Health and Wellness Needs of People with Mental Health Challenges”! This webinar is developed by our friends at the Illinois Institute of Technology through the Chicago Health Disparities Center and the International Association of Peer Supporters, made possible through grant funding from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). This webinar will review:
-
health and wellness among people with mental health challenges;
-
benefits of peer support services;
-
program development using community-based participatory research;
-
summary of PCORI outcome research on peer services; and
-
implementation for peer support services.
Session participants will benefit by receiving practical guidelines on setting up these programs (including service manuals) and learning ways to engage policymakers in supporting these kinds of services.
