This dissertation examines multiple stigmas and the professionalization of peer support work through a mixed-methods study of Forensic Peer Support (FPS) in Pennsylvania. FPS workers are part of the growing peer workforce in recovery-oriented mental healthcare. They draw on their own lived experience with mental illness and criminal justice system involvement to provide individualized support to peer clients with similar histories. Drawing on data from Pennsylvania, including online surveys and in-person qualitative interviews with peer support workers, and supplemented by interviews with FPS stakeholders, this research addresses how peer support workers experience, manage, and resist interpersonal, structural, and occupational stigmas. This dissertation reveals gaps between the conceptualization and implementation of FPS, while providing insight on the composition of the workforce and nature of the work itself. I find that that the experiential salience of multiple stigmas depends on the sociopolitical, regional, and social contexts in which individuals are situated. While peers highlight the impact of mental illness stigma within familial and other social contexts, stigma related to criminal justice system exposure is perceived as structural in nature and deeply embedded in the contemporary U.S. sociopolitical framework. Respondents engage in a number of stigma resistance and management techniques, including situational avoidance techniques, that have broader implications for social integration, stigma power, and citizenship. Findings from this study indicate that the peer support field is undergoing sweeping change, and these findings resonate with observations that international peer support scholars and activists have made. The introduction of Certified Peer Specialists as a Medicaid-reimbursable service greatly expanded the number of individuals employed in and receiving peer services throughout Pennsylvania. However, I find that these processes are having additional unanticipated consequences, including changes to the nature of peer work, heightened concern over occupational stigma and jurisdictional threat, and dilemmas over professional peer identity. Despite broad support, high rates of training, and initial evidence of effectiveness, there are major constraints on the implementation and expansion of FPS programming from barriers related to the criminal justice system and structural stigma. Taken together, this project demonstrates the way that multiple stigmas limit the occupational status of peer workers, while simultaneously highlighting the ways in which peer work and workers deflect and resist stigma. This research also has critical implications for policy and practice to support the increased inclusion of peer support workers within traditional mental healthcare settings, as well as the integration of recovery-oriented services within the criminal justice system.
