1 Embrace Change

When facing challenges in peer support, embracing change is vital. Understand that the field is dynamic, and what worked yesterday might not be the best approach today. Stay informed about new methods and theories in mental health and peer support. Adaptability isn't just about accepting change; it's about actively seeking it out to improve your practice. Be open to feedback from peers and clients, and use it as a springboard for personal and professional development.

One thing I've found helpful, is to share ideas during collaboration. And, to listen as much as possible, while others share their ideas.

2 Self-Care First

As a peer support professional, prioritizing self-care is non-negotiable. It's easy to get caught up in the desire to help others, but neglecting your well-being can lead to burnout. Establish a self-care routine that includes activities that rejuvenate you physically, mentally, and emotionally. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup, so taking time for yourself isn't selfish—it's essential for maintaining the energy and empathy required to support others effectively.

One thing I've found helpful, is an exercise routine. Routinely exercising has helped me in this area a lot. I tend to feel revived when I am active in exercise.

3 Build Resilience

Building resilience is key to overcoming setbacks in your career. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from difficulties, and it's a skill that can be developed over time. Reflect on past challenges you've overcome and the strategies that helped you. Cultivate a positive mindset, set realistic goals, and celebrate small victories. When you view setbacks as temporary and learnable experiences, you build the resilience needed to navigate future challenges.

I agree. I've incorporated a positive at all times attitude. If I find myself falling into negative thoughts or emotions, I quickly recognize because I have replaced such with positivity. I think of positive things before I even try to get to the root of the negative.

4 Seek Support

Even as a support provider, don't overlook the importance of seeking support for yourself. Engage with a community of peers who understand the unique challenges of your profession. Share experiences, seek advice, and offer support to others. Having a strong network can provide you with different perspectives and coping strategies, as well as a sense of belonging and shared purpose.

Look after yourself as a peer support leader. Seek support from others if you need help. Get involved with the community online or in person, ask for specialist advice on certain issues, problems and challenges. Perhaps you have a professional support group, mentor, coach or supervisor for specific areas of interest. Share your experiences with others and also offer support to others if you have the knowledge, skills and experience to help. Grow your personal and professional network to be able to find more opportunities to connect. Get in touch with any organisations that can support you; for example The Scottish Recovery Network or See Me in Scotland, or the NHS in the UK and find out if they have any training programmes for peer support.

5 Continuous Learning

Continuous learning is a cornerstone of overcoming challenges in peer support. Attend workshops, read relevant literature, and participate in training sessions. These activities not only enhance your skills but also provide a fresh perspective that can reinvigorate your approach to support. Staying current with industry developments ensures that you're providing the best possible care to those you're helping.

6 Reflect Regularly

Regular reflection is a powerful tool for professional growth. Take time to assess what's working well and what isn't in your practice. Consider keeping a journal to document your thoughts and feelings about your work. This practice can help you identify patterns, recognize your strengths, and pinpoint areas for improvement. Reflection allows you to make informed decisions about how to move forward and grow from each challenge you face.
