Nine-Month Longitudinal Impact of Peer Support Workers’ Recovery Attributes on Service Users’ Recovery in Hong Kong

What is it about?

The study investigated the association of peer support workers’ recovery qualities on service users' outcomes over 9 months at four community-based mental health organizations in Hong Kong. Findings showed that the more hope and the higher the self-esteem peer support workers had, their service users were more likely to feel hopeful and empowered across the service period. Findings suggested that improving personal recovery of peer support workers is also beneficial to service users.
