Article Synopsis
- This report aims to define and clarify the specific role of peer support providers (PSPs) within traditional mental health services, differentiating them from case managers (CMs).
- The study utilized a systematic methodology involving focus groups with current PSPs and CMs, along with a survey of subject matter experts to analyze the unique and overlapping tasks associated with both roles.
- Findings indicate that PSPs have distinct responsibilities focused on empowering consumers and promoting personal development, while also sharing some duties with CMs, which could enhance collaboration in behavioral health settings.
