[Recovery and Inclusion: A Field Report on 5 Years of Peer Support in Psychiatry]
1Psychiatrie, Psychotherapie und Psychosomatik, Klinikum Bremerhaven Reinkenheide gGmbH, Bremerhaven.
Abstract:
We report on 5 years of hands-on experience with the inclusion of peers as recovery companions in the psychiatric teams at Klinikum Bremerhaven-Reinkenheide. It was our aim to offer those affected the possibility of professional inclusion into peer support and organize our department more strongly in line with recovery principles as result of their work. Currently, seven peer support people are permanent employees at our department. Their salaries are covered by the nursing budget. We discuss the preconditions of our model, implementation of the program, changes that occurred, but also problems that arose.
