ImROC is calling for a National Strategy for Peer Support after 10 years of working alongside organizations to introduce it. Stay tuned for our next few posts as we unpack our learnings and announce a UK First Event! #mentalhealth #peersupport

💛 We will continue to advocate for Hope, Control and Opportunity across communities and cultures.

💡 It was only today that ImROC Lead Consultants met to discuss the the Visions and Values of ImROC as we dare to dream of how support could look over the next 5 years and how ImROC will commit to advocating within these spaces.

‼️Today we learnt that a reform of the Mental Health Act was not on the agenda for the King’s Speech.‼️

🌟 It is this innovation and integrity that will further carve out the Peer Workforce Path and lead us into alternative support spaces.

💡 The real expertise and innovation came from grass roots services that had pioneered in offering Peer Support. It is this expertise that we must hold at the heart of Peer Work to maintain and celebrate the integrity within statutory services.

🌍 In light of Global Peer Support Celebration Day (19th October 2023) we wanted to celebrate the over 2000 Peer Workers ImROC have trained since 2010.
