Abstract

This research explores how peer support in Scotland has adapted to a digital world with creativity and flexibility during Covid-19 restrictions.

The Meaningful connections research report is based on engagement with 170 different peer support services and 110 participants from across the country.

Key learning from the research:

Support during lockdown was innovative and responsive:

Flexibility was a key enabler of success

The digital divide was a key barrier

Facilitators need support to make this approach work

Remote peer support worked for a lot of people
