Using your skills and experience: Designing a course in health and social care for people with mental health problems

Abstract

This article describes the research and development that went into a course for people who use mental health services who might want to offer their skills and experience to help others. David Martin, who conducted the research and devised the course, is currently working for the National Schizophrenia Fellowship researching user approaches to self‐management and developing a self‐management project. He will be reporting on the outcome of this initiative in a future edition, and meanwhile would like to hear from others who have similar ideas or experiences.
