Peer-delivered and Technology-Assisted Integrated Illness Management and Recovery

PDTA-IIMR is delivered by a peer support specialist with the use of guided IIMR eModules and a smartphone application designed to complement in-person eModule sessions. The eModules are designed to be reviewed with a peer support specialist and consumer during one-hour, weekly, telephonic sessions in a community setting. Each eModule includes videos and experiential learning tasks on psychoeducation and coping skills training.

Peer support is a non-manualized form of social support, frequently coupled with instrumental support, that is mutually offered or provided by persons having a mental health condition to others sharing a similar mental health condition to bring about a desired social or personal change. Peer support specialists are provided with 1-hour of supervision each week
