OBJECTIVE 6: Develop peer support services Although there was excellent support from all the experts, I needed to talk to someone who knew how I was feeling and what life with SCI is really like. I was put in touch with the peer support service. They have been great visiting me when I was in the spinal rehabilitation unit and then linking me with another peer support worker in my community. They also have a support group for family members which my wife is now attending. Through the peer support service I realised there is life after SCI and a wealth of practical advice and camaraderie which makes life so much easier. It is great that this service is widely available as it has really helped us. Action areas Develop a nationally consistent framework for providing sustainable peer support services. Outcomes People with SCI, their family and whānau receive consistent and practical peer support services through a national peer support programme. Sustainable funding is available for SCI peer support agencies. Benefits of peer support for people with SCI, their families and whānau are maximised through a targeted approach. Actions Develop a memorandum of understanding between the New Zealand Spinal Trust (NZST) and The Association of Spinal Concerns (TASC). Develop a specification for a nationally consistent peer support programme. Embed the peer support framework within existing health and disability services. Build capacity of peer support to provide national coverage. Provide training for the peer support programme. Identify sustainable multi-year funding sources that support continuity of services: • consider the role of DHB service coverage documents and the operational policy framework (for DHBs) in requiring peer support services to be available/offered • develop minimum requirements guidelines for peer support services by ACC, the Ministry and DHBs • determine costs to implement the programme • match existing funding with the programme components to identify gaps • develop a business case for funding to meet the gaps • enter into contracts for peer support. Lead agencies NZST, TASC ACC, the Ministry, CMDHB, CDHB Timing Progressive implementation by June 2016. 26 I New Zealand Spinal Cord Impairment Action Plan 2014–2019
