The Peer Support Specialist Programme aims to provide opportunities for persons with mental health issues to leverage on their lived experience of recovery to support others in their recovery journey in a formal and structured training as well as equipping them with competencies as a Peer Support Specialist. To further prepare social service organisations in creating an inclusive and supportive work environment towards peer support workforce, organisational staff will be trained. The programme also ensures renewal of capacity by building up peer trainers to train persons with mental health issues and the organisational staff in order to sustain a recovery-oriented peer support eco-system in Singapore.

The Peer Support Specialist Programme is designed and developed by National Council of Social Service (NCSS) in collaboration with the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) and mental health organisations and will be used in both the social service and healthcare sectors.
