Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot effectiveness trial will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a structured peer support program based on the Certified Peer Specialist Program of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Bipolar disorder is a chronic and often disabling illness affecting 1-2% of US adults. Peer support programs are an innovative and promising model to reverse demoralization, activate consumers to seek more effective care, develop consumers' self-management skills, and restore participation in work and other social roles. Peer-led programs can address key barriers to dissemination of effective psychosocial treatment. This pilot effectiveness trial will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a structured peer support program based on the Certified Peer Specialist Program of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA). Following the philosophy of recovery, the intervention focuses on:

* Motivating consumers to develop an expectation of recovery
* Encouraging regular self-monitoring of mood symptoms
* Training consumers to develop self-management skills for symptom control and problem solving
* Activating consumers to be more informed partners in care and more effective self-advocates
* Motivating and assisting consumers to reclaim work and other rewarding social roles

The investigators will use a rigorous research design to evaluate how structured peer support promotes core values of mental health recovery. Impact of the intervention will be judged across a range of outcomes:

* Long-term control of mood disorder symptoms
* Optimal participation in work and other rewarding social roles
* Consumers' perceptions of autonomy and full participation in the treatment process Findings from this pilot study will inform the development of a full-scale effectiveness trial to include a broader range of participants and health care settings.
