Reflection of Peer Support Local Situation Integration of Primary Care in different community settings 1. HA has officially launched PSW services in 3 Clusters (KCC, KWC, NTW) in 2015-16 and other 4 remained clusters in 2016-17. 2. PSW training curriculum framework is standardized among HA hospitals in 2015. 3. Peer Support Workers (PSW) positioned as supporting staff & holding a post of PCA IIIA {Patient Care Assistant(III)A} and /or PCA II. 4. Base on our available information, there is no foreseeable career pathway for local PSW as what we seen in USA. 11
Reflection of Peer Support Challenges in Local Situation 1. Lack of long term government policy on peer support service development in HK; 2. No regional recognized governing board in HK; 3. Lack of standardized accredited PSW trainings in Hong Kong, different organizations (NGOs, HA) develop their own PSW services and training programs; 4. Uncertain HA / management Policy; 5. No independent Career Job Rank in the HA organizational structure (i.e. PSW recruitment under PCA Post) 6. Unclear career pathway 12
Trauma Informed Care (TIC) 13
Trauma-informed care (TIC) A trauma-informed care is an approach to deliver behavioral health services includes an understanding of trauma and an awareness of the impact it can have across settings, services, and populations. It involves viewing trauma through an ecological & cultural lens and recognizing that context plays a significant role in how individuals perceive and process traumatic events, whether acute or chronic. TIC involves vigilance in anticipating and avoiding institutional processes and individual practices that are likely to re-traumatize individuals who already have histories of trauma, & it upholds the importance of consumer participation in the development, delivery, and evaluation of services. (SAMHSA, 2014) 14
