Anneliese de Wet<\/strong><\/a> completed her PhD in Psychology at Stellenbosch University in December 2020. Prior to coming to the United States, she developed an individual measure of recovery for a South African context by exploring the understanding of recovery, as well as the barriers and facilitators of recovery, for people using services, their carers, and service providers. Previously, she explored the lived experience of recovery from first-episode psychosis in a South African sample and worked on a Canadian CIHR-funded international, multi-site study on community engagement in HIV vaccine research.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anneliese is particularly interested in peer support work. She recently completed a research project in which she tried to understand how mental health peer specialists withstand or shield themselves against experiences of prejudice and discrimination on the job.<\/span><\/p>\n

AMAs are not presentations but rather hour-long interactive question & answer webinars with an expert in employment. Regardless of whether you are a person living with a mental health condition, a family member, an administrator of a service, a provider, or a researcher, people from anywhere get answers to their questions.<\/em><\/p>\n
