“…Another key concept is meeting individuals "where they are," which includes being supportive rather than directive and focusing on strengths, resiliencies, and empowerment (1,5). Citizenship, or meaningful participation in a community, is a valuable concept in sustaining recovery, and it can be encouraged through peer recovery activities (3,14,15). Peer recovery services should involve peers in all aspects of the structure, leadership, goals, design, and overall strategy of the services (3).…”

In recent years, peer recovery support services have become an accepted part of the treatment of substance use disorders, providing a more extensive array of services than typically associated with mutual support groups. Peer providers may help consumers set recovery goals, develop a plan, and work toward and maintain recovery. In this literature review, the last in the Assessing the Evidence Base (AEB) Series, the authors review the evidence supporting peer recovery support services, noting that more research is needed to distinguish the effects of peer recovery support from other recovery support activities.

“…Consumer and peer choice in the selection of services (5,8) and emphasis on peer ethics and peer training (4,(6)(7)(8)16) are essential for both the peer provider and the consumer. Peer recovery support emphasizes the valuable role of experiential knowledge (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(14)(15)(16)(17).…”

“…The peer mentors for CCEP encourage participants to maintain their sobriety by offering examples of their own struggles and community reintegration work and providing social support, referral to mental health and addictions treatment, and practical advice to them (see Rowe et al, 2009, for a more extensive overview of the project). Results from a randomized study on the citizenship intervention show that it facilitated participants' decreased alcohol use (Rowe et al, 2007) and decreased drug use (Clayton, O'Connell, Bellamy, Benedict, & Rowe, 2012) compared with those receiving usual services.…”

L’un des quatre principaux chapitres du document de consultation proposé par le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec, en préparation du Forum national sur le Plan d’action en santé mentale 2014-2020, est consacré au plein exercice de la citoyenneté. Ce témoignage est le fruit d’un dialogue tenu entre la direction générale d’un institut universitaire en santé mentale québécois et d’un groupe de personnes utilisatrices de services qui prennent part au Projet citoyen au Centre de recherche de ce même institut. Les résultats préliminaires de la validation d’une nouvelle mesure de la citoyenneté ont été utilisés pour structurer et faire progresser ce dialogue. Cette étude de cas illustre une façon de trianguler des données issues d’une recherche participative et au sein de laquelle des personnes utilisatrices de services de santé mentale ont été des partenaires de recherche à part entière. Ces pairs assistants de recherche ont notamment assumé la collecte des données auprès de 178 autres personnes utilisatrices de services de santé mentale qui ont répondu à l’échelle de la citoyenneté. Ils ont aussi animé des groupes de discussion autour des résultats préliminaires, notamment pour donner des étiquettes aux domaines émergeant des premières analyses statistiques. Ils ont ensuite dialogué avec la directrice générale venue tremper dans le Projet citoyen, et ce témoignage reflète la teneur de ce dialogue.Objective: One of the four main chapters of the consultation document proposed by the Québec Ministère de la santé et des services sociaux (Health and Social Services), in preparation for the National Forum on the Mental Health Action Plan 2014-2020, is dedicated to the full exercise of citizenship. This paper reports the dialogue that took place between the CEO of a university mental health institute and a group of service users, in order to participate in the consultation process regarding the full exercise of citizenship.Method: Since May 2013, a dozen service users have gathered in the Projet citoyen at the Research Centre of Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal (IUSMM). The Projet citoyen is a culturally adapted transposition, in Québec, of the Citizens Project that is in place in New Haven, Connecticut. One of the key components of both the Projet citoyen and the Citizens Project interventions is a group training regarding citizenship. Participants discuss what it means for them to be full citizens and they support each other in achieving personal or collective goals. To assess progress made in such matters, a new Citizenship Measurement has been developed by the Yale Program for Recovery & Community Health, and translated into French. This Mesure de la citoyenneté is in the process of being validated; peer research assistants conducted data collection by asking 178 people who use the mental health services of Quebec to complete the French Mesure de la citoyenneté. The preliminary results of a statistical analysis were used to structure the dialogue between the IUSMM CEO and the part...

A Peer-Support, Group Intervention to Reduce Substance Use and Criminality Among Persons With Severe Mental Illness

Abstract: Of the outcomes, only decreased alcohol use was attributable to the experimental intervention. Although this may be a chance finding, peer- and community-oriented group support and learning may facilitate decreased alcohol use over time.
