The History and Politics of Mental Health Peer Work: From Revolutionary France to Late‐Stage Neoliberalism

To realise peer work's full potential, mental health services should formally recognise peer workers with independent reporting lines, embed rotations across multidisciplinary teams and secure sustainable funding (including Medicare reimbursement). These reforms would strengthen relational safety, reduce stigma and empower clients, ultimately fostering more humane, recovery-oriented care.

Abstract

To realise peer work's full potential, mental health services should formally recognise peer workers with independent reporting lines, embed rotations across multidisciplinary teams and secure sustainable funding (including Medicare reimbursement). These reforms would strengthen relational safety, reduce stigma and empower clients, ultimately fostering more humane, recovery-oriented care.
