简要总结
SHARE! the Self-Help and Recovery Exchange will engage peer workers in their Peer Toolkit training, which is designed to improve the performance of peer workers in their provision of peer support. The Peer Toolkit training currently has a waitlist of peer workers interested in taking the course for professional development purposes. These peer workers and their supervisors will be invited to complete a web-based survey at baseline and 4-month follow-up. Peer workers will be randomly assigned to enroll in the Peer Toolkit training immediately or after the follow-up survey. Analyses will compare participants who had the opportunity to complete the training to those still waiting to start the training. This study will inform the use of the Peer Toolkit as a training mechanism to build the capacity of peer workers in the mental health workforce.
