Thoughts of a family peer worker

Family peer work and its implementation in youth mental health

This interview features Orygen senior research fellow, Dr Magenta Simmons, and family peer worker, Susan Preece as they discuss:

• the family (including family of choice) experience when a loved young one experiences mental health challenges;
• what family peer work in youth mental health is;
• what family peer work involves; and
• the barriers and facilitators to its implementation in youth mental health services.

It is aimed at clinicians, peer workers and students, service leaders, and policy makers, and will also be helpful to anyone with an interest in family peer work in youth mental health.
