What is the difference between peer-led support groups, peer mentoring and peer learning? Well, now, that is a very good question. Something @juliahaas07 unpacks for us. Peer support is not all one homogenous intervention. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

When @juliahaas07 spoke to university staff about peer support she heard about a whole range of challenges, around engagement, resource, capacity and the evaluation. She summarizes these and sets out her fantastic expert opinion on how to address these. mdpi.com/2227-7102/13/9/962

What does peer support for mental health look like in the uni space? @juliahaas07 spoke to university staff in 14 institutions to pull together a picture of how peer support is being implemented. It is a complex picture with lessons for all universities - mdpi.com/2227-7102/13/9/962
