Peer supporters are crucial in supporting people with mental health problems, says Inga Cociorva, a peer supporter in Moldova
In Moldova, there is a clear need for the development of social and mental health services to provide proper support and care. Peer supporters are people with personal life experience in mental health who use their own experience to support others with similar conditions. With the support of Caritas Czech Republic, several recovered people have been trained for the role of peer supporter. We spoke to Inga Cociorva, whose own recovery experience led her to become a peer supporter.
