The five Young Adult's Peer Support Worker (YA PSW) roles has been developed specifically for people who have lived experience of recovery from mental health challenges while a adolescence and during young adulthood. The role is also open to people who have experience of being in care. Through sharing wisdom from their own lived experience, the YA PSW will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible, and support young people accessing Children and Adolescence Mental Health services (CAMHs) as well as those moving from CAMHs to Adult Mental Health Services (ages 16-25) through their own recovery journey. The YA PSW will support young adults who have recently presented to adult services and proved a tailored recovery package to support the young adult needs derived from lived experience.
