For peer workers, people with lived experience, and organisations wanting to understand and support peer leadership.

What does peer leadership look like in practice, and how can it shape the future of mental health support in Scotland?

This event brings together peer leaders from across sectors to share their experiences of growing and embedding peer leadership within mental health services and wider systems. We’ll look at co-production as a key approach to designing and delivering services, and how peer leadership, and co-production can work together to create meaningful, lasting change.

We will be joined by Sue Lyons, Manager at Discovery College, who will share reflections on what peer leadership means in practice and how this is embedded within the organisation.

For peer workers, service leads, and those involved in shaping mental health policy and services in Scotland.
