Summary

This study tests a 10-week program called 'Grow to Recovery' for people with mental illness. The program is co-led by a peer (someone who also has a mental illness) and a professional. Researchers want to see if it helps participants feel more hopeful and capable. 138 people are taking part in Taiwan.

What this could lead to: If it works, this could show that peer-led programs help people with mental illness feel more hopeful and in control of their recovery.
