«There is increasing recognition that people with lived experience, due to their own knowledge and experience in the area, have an important contribution to make and a central role to play in the design, development, improvement or transformation of mental health services, as well as in supporting and delivering direct services to others such as peer specialist, peer support and peer-run crisis services (69). Providing services that actively seek to promote the knowledge and insights of those who have experienced psychosocial disabilities and to understand what services are helpful to them, is essential for providing support that people want and find useful. Services need to recognize the vital role that people with lived experience have to play in all aspects of service planning, delivery and governance. The vital and beneficial role that people with lived experience can have, for example, through providing peer support, is increasingly being acknowledged (70-72). As a consequence, peer support is progressively being adopted within mental health services and systems in countries. Peer-based interventions are integral to services and should be part of a movement towards the provision of more positive responses to people who are seeking care and support (73)», diese Worte sprechen für sich und sind im Paper: Guidance on community mental health services; promoting person-centred and [recovery] rights-based approaches; im ersten Kapitel S. 1-12 zu finden.
