Therefore, a focus group interview (FGI) was conducted with vocational rehabilitation professionals in charge of peer support activity, leadership development and job creation project for people with mentally disabled. As a result of the study, the research participants had expectations for capacity strengthening of ability through the project, and recognized the role of peer support workers as emotional support for peers, planning and implementation of programs, operation of self-help meeting, promotion of project and facility, assistant support for colleagues etc. In addition, they saw that they could be more motivated if they were given financial rewards and meaningful role performance, feeling hard but rewarded and taking efforts for improvement of one's specialty through participation in the project. Based on the results, this study discussed about and provided practical suggestion for promoting employment of peer support workers for people with mentally disabled.

본 연구는 정신장애인 동료지원활동의 보다 발전적인 고용 활성화 방안을 모색하고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 그리하여 정신장애인 동료지원활동 리더양성 일자리 지원사업을 담당하고 있는 직업재활실무자들을 대상으로 초점집단인터뷰(FGI)를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 연구참여자들은 본 사업을 통해 역량강화에 대한 기대를 갖고 있었고, 동료지원활동가의 역할에 대해 동료들에 대한 정서적 지원, 프로그램 계획 및 진행, 자조모임 운영, 사업 및 시설홍보, 직원 보조지원의 역할 등으로 인식하고 있었다. 또한 금전적인 보상과 의미있는 역할 수행이 된다면 보다 동기부여 될 수 있다고 보았으며, 사업참여를 통해 힘들지만 보람을 느끼며, 전문성 향상을 위해 스스로 노력하는 모습을 보였다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 정신장애인 동료지원 활동 고용 활성화를 위한 논의 및 실제적인 제언을 하였다.
