Peers in a Pod Fiona Eastmond “Peer Support in mental health is essentially people with similar experiences inspiring and supporting each other. This unique approach brings a truly human perspective to distress. Time, empathy and understanding become the norm not the exception. These ideas originated in the grassroots mental health survivor movement. Now, Peer Support Worker or Lived Experience Professional (LXP) or Expert by Experience have become paid careers across private, charity and public sectors including within the NHS. But what do we DO? and who ARE we? What IS Recovery anyway? Have we lost sight of our survivor status and sold out? We use our lived experience to help others – but what does that feel like?
