The document summarizes research on a peer-led mental health advocacy organization called Transforming Peers' Lives (TPL). It finds that the collaborative process used by TPL, while difficult, was key to participants' satisfaction. Members felt they had a voice and were valued in the coordinating group. All coordinators also felt they had learned a lot from the collaborative process. However, the research notes that volunteer-run organizations can face delays and disruptions in accomplishing goals when volunteers' other commitments take priority over the organization's work.
