It’s exciting to see my #unipeersupport research being used to guide the sector in the TASO #StudentMentalHealthEvidenceHub 🥳 Psst, watch this space for the full systemic review publication (!) that guided this work 👀 taso.org.uk/intervention-s…

What does peer support for mental health look like in the uni space? Julia Pointon-Haas spoke to university staff in 14 institutions to pull together a picture of how peer support is being implemented. It is a complex picture with lessons for all universities - mdpi.com/2227-7102/13/9…

Another publication from my PhD research is out! After sifting through 12k papers, I present ‘A systematic review of peer support interventions...’ Co-authored by Luqmaan Waqar @DrJulietFoster Dr Nicola Byrom Dr Rebecca Upsher #drjennyoates doi.org/10.1192/bjo.20…

When Julia Pointon-Haas spoke to university staff about peer support she heard about a whole range of challenges, around engagement, resource, capacity and the evaluation. She summarizes these and sets out her fantastic expert opinion on how to address these. mdpi.com/2227-7102/13/9…

What is the difference between peer-led support groups, peer mentoring and peer learning? Well, now, that is a very good question. Something Julia Pointon-Haas unpacks for us. Peer support is not all one homogenous intervention. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
