This book responds to a gap in current literature by exploring the role of peer support work through the four realms of theory, research, policy and practice with a particular focus on mental health discourses.
Michael John Norton is a Recovery and Engagement Programme Lead with the HSE Office of Mental Health Engagement and Recovery. One of Michael's main areas of responsibility is peer support work due to his past experiences of being a peer support worker for the HSE mental health services in the Republic of Ireland. Michael is also a lecturer with University College Cork, Ireland.
