The concept of peer support is now firmly established in the psychiatric landscape. While taking into account the benefits that this approach brings to patients and teams, it is essential to consider the need to define a framework for the practice of peer support. This framework, which is essential for the development of the practice, will help to avoid overly fragile exposure, which is synonymous with difficulties for peer helpers and their teams.

Over the last fifteen years or so in France, the deployment of peer professionals in mental health seems to have accelerated. The benefits of peer support have been widely demonstrated. It is based on the experiential knowledge acquired by certain patients who have recovered during their course of treatment, which can be passed on by positive identification, stimulating hope and motivation. These unique skills are then complemented by more theoretical knowledge sanctioned by a diploma that legitimises the future professionals and gives them access to undisputed recognition to work alongside pre-existing systems. However, it is not always easy to integrate them into health and social teams.

Review
Eating Disorders are psychiatric conditions that can manifest clinically as malnutrition due to restrictive eating and weight control behaviors or obesity due to binge eating. Eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa have peak onset during adolescence and young adulthood. This population is at the highest risk due to psychosocial changes surrounding identity development and body image that occurs during this life-stage. Though binge eating disorder and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder are not characterized by body image overvaluation, peak onset is also during adolescence and young adulthood.

Review
Abuse, bullying, harassment, and discrimination are prominent workplace occurrences within cardiothoracic (CT) surgery that cause burnout and threaten the well-being of surgeons. Under-represented and marginalized groups experience higher incidences of these negative events, and CT surgery is one of the least diverse specialties. The CT surgery workforce and institutional leadership must prioritize mentorship, sponsorship, and allyship to promote a diverse and healthy specialty for surgeon recruitment, growth, and job satisfaction.
