Abstract

Objective : The study aims to review and compare articles in the mental health area about education, activities (duties), operating system, and effectiveness of peer supporters in order to set the business plan for the city of Seoul.
Methods : The U.S. and the U.K., which play an advanced role in peer support projects in the mental health sector, conducted a literature study on such data as types and operating models of peer support activities in each country.
Results : A common element in the peer support curriculum was the fact that it focuses on peer support and self-disclosure between the recipients of the service. The education takes about 40 to 100 hours in the U.S., 60 hours in the U.K., and 40 hours in Korea. As for the peer support activities, primarily covered are the peer consultation and support for community settlement. In terms of the operating system for peer support, some areas in the U.S. and U.K. are seeking to institutionalize the peer support to proceed and expand the recruiting. Unfortunately, in Korea, each agency has its own authority instead of any institutionalization. For the effect of peer support, there was a positive recognition for future and recovery, a decrease in re-admission rate, and mutual support for recovery.
Conclusion : In order to enhance the effectiveness of the Seoul Peer Support Program, it is necessary to increase the time assigned for education and operation system for peer support and to establish a curriculum that further subdivides categories such as recovery and counseling techniques. In addition, awareness and institutional support at the national level are required for the dissemination of peer support. Opportunity to experience 'growth'.
