The study aimed to explore patients’ experiences of recovery education and assess whether participation in a peer-led session increased hope for recovery. A two-hour recovery education session led by a trained peer support specialist was held at Vrapče University Psychiatric Hospital, using an adapted version of the World Health Organization’s person-centered recovery plan. The session included an introduction to recovery concepts, the peer support specialist’s personal recovery story, a video presentation illustrating recovery principles through the story of a person with lived experience of mental illness, and a practical demonstration of how to develop a personal recovery plan. The sample consisted of 35 participants with psychotic disorders who attended the session and completed a brief post-session questionnaire assessing their experiences and perceived changes in hope and expectations of recovery. More than half of the participants (n = 19, 54%) experienced increased hope for and belief in recovery after the workshop; most of the sample (n = 27, 77.14%) reported that the workshop had positively changed their belief in personal recovery. Most participants (n = 26, 74.29%) stated that the peer support specialist’s experience helped strengthen their belief in personal recovery. Regarding changes in belief in the possibility of recovery, 15 participants reported believing much more strongly, 12 somewhat more strongly, 6 reported no change in their belief, and 1 reported believing somewhat less strongly. Peer-led recovery education appears promising for strengthening hope and supporting active engagement in personal recovery planning, while integrating peer support into a large psychiatric hospital is considered a feasible approach to advancing recovery-oriented and human rights-based care.
