Peer Support & You – A Discussion
Mini Report
May 2013.

'A psychologist could not strengthen their practice from a Social Worker. Nor can a Peer Worker'

Ms Desley Casey, founder/principal trainer of (EDP) Every Day People Communications invited people from the mental health sector to a webinar discussion on Peer Support on Tuesday 7th May 2013. (EDP) Every Day People Communications is an Australian owned small business providing a broad range of innovation training, courses, workshops and webinars for the Australian community. (EDP) Communications is the first, to my understanding, to develop an online Peer Support & You Course which also includes a Peer Mentoring programme for people wanting to undertake the peer support role with integrity, ethically and effectively.

The hosting of the webinar discussion is also a first, to my understanding, for the mental health sector to come together and discuss in an open, online forum peer support, utilising the webinar format.

This mini report is a summary of the discussions, concerns and solutions put forward at the webinar discussion. A transcript of the webinar has been able to be downloaded and this report is based on the transcript.

33 consumers, carers, service providers and project officers from various organisations attended and participated in the webinar, however five participants did not stay for any length of time to be recorded by the webinar platform system. Another five participants listened in from one participant’s computer. The overall average length of time participants remained on the webinar was 37 minutes of the 67 minute (1 hour 7 minutes) webinar discussion.
