[Dr Nicola Byrom @NicolaByrom]

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.

[Dr Nicola Byrom @NicolaByrom]

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. https://t.co/lDI6YLKkae

[Dr Nicola Byrom @NicolaByrom]

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 - https://t.co/lDI6YLJMkG

[Julia Pointon-Haas @juliahaas07]

Another publication from my PhD research is out! After sifting through 12k papers, I present ‘A systematic review of peer support interventions...’ Co-authored by @LuqmaanWaqar @DrJulietFoster @NicolaByrom @BeckyUpsher #drjennyoates
