‘You Understand Me’: Experiences of Peer Mentors Delivering Support for a Mindfulness Intervention to Family Carers of People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Background
Family carers of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at increased risk of stress and often face barriers to accessing appropriate supports. Peer support can enhance the effects of well-being interventions, yet research is limited regarding family carers' experiences within peer support roles.
Method
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 peer mentors (four adult siblings, six parent carers) paid to support other family carers undertaking an online mindfulness intervention. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. The data were analysed using Framework Analysis.
Results
Peer mentors discussed their motivations, the importance of shared experiences within the mentoring relationships, increased confidence and self-belief, and learning and growing throughout the mentoring role.
Conclusion
Peer mentors spoke positively, discussing benefits within their personal lives and future employment opportunities. Further research is needed regarding the experiences of mentors who withdrew from the role, as well as fathers, brothers and people from ethnic minority communities.
