Abstract
This autoethnographic study explores the inception and origins of a peer support program at a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Perth, Western Australia. The program employs recovering mental health consumers to provide support to patients in their recovery journey in a tertiary hospital setting. This dissertation contrasts the author's experience of managing and developing a peer support program in this setting with social work values and principles of practice as a way of constructing the emerging philosophy of the program.
