Inclusion Criteria

There are three key groups for inclusion in the study who must be located in, and will be recruited from each selected setting we select to be a site for the study. The key sites for the study are: community-based public mental health services, a university and a recovery-focused adult mental health learning organisation (Recovery College).
1. Peer workers employed in each setting we select to be a site for the study.
2. Other staff members employed in each setting we select to be a site for the study involved in the peer worker program directly or indirectly.
3. People with self-identified lived experience of mental illness who attend at each setting we select to be a site for the study.

Exclusion Criteria

There are no specific exclusion criteria. However, the program and associated research project measures are all in English and approach the issues from a Western conceptualization of stigma and mental illness. As such, this may prove challenging for people from different cultural or language backgrounds. We will not specifically exclude these people from participating, but they may require extra assistance to take part.
