This narrative explores elements of a peer support relationship, through the eyes of both someone receiving and someone providing that support, within the context of community-based mental health interventions inspired by the <em>citizenship framework of care</em>. The interviewees highlight the personal impacts of the relationship on each person in the dyad and provide a discrete example of the potentiality of peer support work that is practiced outside of the formal mental health system and embedded in the community.<em> </em></p> ER -
