To gather observations on the mechanisms that supported LC functioning and outcomes, a case study approach was used, and a formal evaluation was conducted, including 2 focus groups with 6 LC Advisors.

Post-MHFA training, students were invited to participate in simulated psychosis care role-plays (co-designed and content validated with mental health stakeholders) with trained actors. Role-plays were observed by peers, tutors, and mental health consumer educators (MHCEs). Students immediately engaged in self-assessment, feedback, and debrief discussions with peers, tutors, and MHCEs. Quantitative analyses (ANOVA and chi-square tests) were conducted on scores awarded by each rater (self, tutor, MHCE) and for each scenario (n = 3).
