A systematic review of the barriers and facilitators to lived experience involvement in mental health services
This review provides insight into the barriers and facilitating factors experienced by individuals in peer involvement roles within mental health services. The wider implications challenge the notion that peer involvement reduces stigma and discrimination. This review highlights that peer involvement can sometimes increase peers' experience of stigmatisation, specifically when involved in mental health services.
