Mental Health: Consumer peer work in mental health

Guide to library resources for staff of St Vincent's Hospital Melbourne with an interest in mental health, psychiatry and psychology

Consumer peer work in mental health

Welcome to a special issue of Mental Health Update about consumer peer work in mental health. This updates a resource first created in April 2016 with the assistance of Matthew Scott and Melissa Petrakis, and I thank them for the initial inspiration. I would also like to thank Deb Carlon for her help in updating the content, including websites I never knew existed :)
