The role of Relief Recovery Practitioner (Peer) has been developed specifically for people who have lived experience of mental health problems. Through sharing learning from their own experience, Practitioners will inspire hope and belief that recovery is possible. Within a relationship of mutuality and information sharing, Practitioners will promote self-management and opportunities for improved health and wellbeing.

The Relief Recovery Practitioner (Peer) will act as a recovery champion within the team and an ambassador of recovery with external agencies and partner organisations. There is also an expectation that the Relief Recovery Practitioner (Peer) will be involved in the ongoing development of peer roles and will make a positive contribution to the reduction in stigma associated with mental health issues.

DBI is a two-tiered response; a Level 1 response from frontline partnership agencies and Level 2 supportive interventions delivered by Penumbra. A Recovery Practitioner will respond to a referral made on behalf of a person experiencing distress within 24 hours, with the provision of time limited support. The Practitioner will then deliver community-based problem solving support, wellness and distress management planning, supported connections and signposting for a period of up to 14 days.
