This evaluation framework has been designed to measure the effectiveness of peer support as a means of reducing mental health symptoms and improving overall wellbeing and social connectedness in the lives of participating ACT women living with mental health issues.
Women Supporting Women and the Women And Prisons group have been chosen as sample groups for the pilot. These groups have differing membership and models and consequently provide two unique examples of peer support functioning under differing circumstances.
