Connecting Peer Supporters in Western Australia

The WA Peer Supporters’ Network is proud to release the Peer Workforce Report.

 

The Peer Workforce Report: Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drug Services presents the findings of a 2017 multi-stakeholder Peer Workforce Study in Western Australia conducted by the WA Peer Supporters’ Network.

It provides an overall picture of peer workforce demand, benefit, supply, uptake and workforce sustainability factors and offers a blueprint for sector change to address limited uptake of the peer workforce and peer workforce sustainability challenges.

The Report calls for strategic and coordinated commitment to fully establish peer work as a core workforce in Western Australia and includes recommendations to policy makers, commissioners and services.
