Peer support is an evidence-based strategy to increase the availability and accessibility of mental health services in rural and remote areas.  There is the perception among some healthcare teams that exposing Peer Support Specialists to individuals experiencing a crisis will negatively affect the Peer by triggering their own crisis.  There are also assumptions that Peers cannot be used in different service modalities, when in fact peers can and do provide valuable services across multiple settings. Addressing these barriers and providing systemic solutions will help learners identify opportunities to leverage peer support in their rural, clinical settings.
