Hi everyone! I’m interviewing to become an NHS Peer Support Practitioner next week for an inpatient setting with a group programme.

I reckon one of the questions will be about what kind of groups I’d run as a PSP. I would like to do some kind of goal setting group and nature mindfulness group. However, I don’t want to suggest a group that comes across as a therapy group — obviously peer support isn’t supposed to be clinical/treatment.

Would love to hear some successful groups you guys have run?

Bonus question — what is a peer supporter suppose to do if a patient refuses medication?

Hello! I've been looking at volunteering opportunities to gain more experience in the mental health sector and was wondering if anyone has any experience volunteering for the charity Knus? It's an online peer support thing but I can't find any reviews from volunteers. It seems legit but wanted to ask before I book in an interview date :) TIA
