Let’s Evaluate Peer Support: Adaptable Outcome Map
Peer support is powerful and it works but it is underfunded and often misrepresented as an optional add-on or inferior to clinical approaches to support.
By gathering and sharing evidence we can make sure that funders and decision makers know that peer support is part of the solution to an overwhelmed mental health system. We can increase understanding of what peer support actually is and the positive impact it has on people’s mental health recovery.

Adaptable Outcome Map
Co-created through the Let’s Evaluate Peer Support project to support people and organisations involved in mental health peer support to evaluate their work in ways that feel meaningful, creative and true to peer support values. We recommend printing in A3 where possible but A4 works too.
