Peer Support In Mental Health Care: Is It Good Value For Money?

In June 2013, the British Centre For Mental Health published a report assessing whether peer support provides value for money invested (i.e., a return on investment or ROI).

The report includes: Executive Summary; The Benefits of Support; Research on Effectiveness; Value for Money; Review Methods; Working out the Costs; The Results; and Limitations of this Analysis.
