Large research scoping study leaves no doubt about the benefits of peer support in supporting the recovery of young people suffering from mental health conditions.
Peer support has increasingly been integrated into youth mental health programs globally. Peer support workers are an important ally in an individual’s recovery journey, providing both emotional and instrumental support and advocacy through their lived experiences.
The objective of this paper is to conduct a scoping review examining peer support services for youth with mental health concerns. This scoping review was prospectively registered with The Open Science Framework and followed the PRISMA scoping review extension checklist.
