Psychiatric rehabilitation is one of the four core types of evidence-based and emerging mental health care interventions for people with psychiatric disabilities; moreover, it is arguably the most recovery-oriented (particularly person-centered) of them, even compared to most if not all psychotherapy (Rudnick, 2022). Yet psychiatrists, who are often considerably involved with mental health care for people with psychiatric disabilities, appear to be undereducated if not fully uninformed in relation to psychiatric rehabilitation. This seems to be a worldwide phenomenon with few exceptions. Indeed, it seems to be worsening; for example, the United Kingdom cancelled its rehabilitation psychiatry subspecialty training

I arrived in San Diego in the summer of 2002, ready and eager to begin my new job with the Rehabilitation Counseling Program at San Diego State University (SDSU). What my colleagues and students did not know at that time was that I had recently been diagnosed with bipolar I disorder, a fact of my life that has greatly influenced my career over the past three decades.Let me back up a few years. Beginning in the 1970s, I had a fulfilling career, first working with individuals with developmental disabilities and, second, assisting individuals with a variety of disabilities to obtain and maintain jobs. Over a decade of work in the field was followed by graduate study and a stint at the University of Illinois. In my

<p></p>
Peer support is the process of giving and receiving assistance to support the well-being of people experiencing similar kinds of life challenges. Peer support models have been developed for people with substance use challenges (Reif et al., 2014), mental illnesses (Chinman et al., 2014; Mead et al., 2001), and many kinds of chronic conditions (Peers for Progress, n.d.), as well as groups at high risk for stress and trauma such as law enforcement, emergency response personnel (such as firefighters and EMTs), military personnel (Levenson & Dwyer, 2003) and health-care professionals and physicians (Brazeau et al., 2021; Shapiro & Galowitz, 2016), to name a few. Peer support models have been developed to provide

<p></p>
Serious behavioral health challenges such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and mood disorders are among the top disabling conditions worldwide (Satcher, 2000). These illnesses are often characterized by functional impairments in major role activities such as work, socialization, and independent living skills (Green et al., 2000; Maples & Velligan, 2008). Difficulties with motivation and cognitive processing related to attention, memory, and executive functions are often present and have been found to underly difficulties observed in role functioning (Green et al., 2000). While medication treatments have been found to improve symptoms including hallucinations, delusional thoughts, mood disturbance, and

<p></p>
Many people with serious mental illness experience other health conditions, including but not limited to hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and diabetes, all of which impact quality of life and lifespan (Correll et al., 2017; Dalcin et al., 2019; Firth et al., 2019). Physical inactivity has been consistently identified as a modifiable risk factor as many individuals with mental illness often engage less in physical activity and report a sedentary lifestyle, placing them at higher risk for the development of conditions as described above (Firth et al., 2019). There has been a range of research on lifestyle interventions focused on increasing physical activity that often include general health education, peer

<p></p>
People with severe mental illness (SMI) are at greater risk of experiencing trauma and symptoms related to trauma exposure, such as posttraumatic stress, than the general population (Mazor et al., 2016; Mueser et al., 2004; Neria et al., 2002). Some elements of psychiatric hospitalization as well as certain aspects of illness-related symptoms can also be perceived as extremely traumatic (Mazor et al., 2018; Mueser et al., 1998; Mueser et al., 2010). Although coping with psychosis or other SMI does not necessarily meet the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013) definition of “traumatic experiences,” and therefore is not considered a trigger for

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/934164
<p></p>
The peer support specialist (PSS) workforce consists of frontline workers who use their lived experience to support others in their recovery from behavioral health challenges. This workforce has existed in behavioral health, and other fields, for decades (Gagne et al., 2018; Shalaby & Agyapong, 2020). The peer support workforce was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and was required to implement new support strategies. The pandemic caused a documented rise in behavioral health challenges for many New Yorkers and the American population (NYC Health, 2021) leading to a greater need for mental health supports delivered by PSS. A recent systematic review of peer support interventions delivered during the pandemic

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/934165
<p></p>
People experiencing first episode psychosis (FEP) have high rates of cannabis use (Alcover et al., 2019; SAMHSA, 2019) which is associated with a variety of negative functional and clinical outcomes (Clausen, 2014; Gonzalez-Blanch et al., 2015; Hall et al., 2019), including higher rates of symptom relapse and hospitalization (Leeson et al., 2012; Sara et al., 2014; Schoeler et al., 2017). Most young adults with FEP live with family members (Dixon et al., 2015; Gogtay et al., 2011; Hafner et al., 1994; Stowkowy et al., 2012), and family engagement has been linked to positive outcomes for this population (Stowkowy et al., 2012; Oluwoye et al., 2020). Family engagement is particularly important when it comes to

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/934166
<p></p>
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals often live within a context of persistent invalidation and are subject to stigma-tizing views (Meyer, 2013; O’Connor et al., 2018; Puckett & Levitt, 2015). Moreover, LGBTQ individuals who are labeled with a serious mental illness (SMI) encounter the additional challenge of facing “double stigma.” The term has been used in different contexts, such as with people experiencing obesity and mental illness (Mizock, 2012) and transgender individuals managing mental health concerns (Mizock & Mueser, 2014), and refers to circumstances in which individuals are members of multiple marginalized groups. A specific form of double stigma that LGBTQ individuals

<p></p>
Social support refers to the perceived availability, or actual receipt, of psychological aid or material benefits from an individual’s social network that enhance their ability to cope with stress (Cohen, 2004). While being the recipient of social support has long been a focus of research on depression and social support (George et al., 1989; Pietrzak et al., 2010; Teo et al., 2013; J. Wang et al., 2018), more recently attention has been drawn to the benefits of being the giver of social support (Doré et al., 2017; Heisler, Choi, et al., 2013; Manne et al., 2018; Setterfield et al., 2016; Tomini et al., 2016; D.

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/934168
<p></p>
Self-stigma and other disempowering self-narratives are significant barriers to recovery from long-term mental health challenges. The Illness Identity model (Yanos, Roe, & Lysaker, 2010) proposes that the internalization of stigma among people with serious mental illnesses directly impacts hope and self-esteem, indirectly impacting suicide risk, social avoidance, work outcomes, treatment engagement, and psychiatric symptoms. Researchers have concluded that identity-related factors need to be addressed with effective interventions, especially among young adults. Many people with mental health issues have internalized a story of disempowerment, victim-hood, and a sense of hopelessness that are associated with their
