I am looking for literature to support my dissertation; what are the unique benefits of service users becoming practitioners, and what barriers do they encounter?
Thank you.

Hi Natasha, perhaps from a mental health space, lots of great work gets done by peer support workers, here is a LR on the subject.
Best of luck.
Repper, J., & Carter, T. (2011). A review of the literature on peer support in mental health services. Journal of Mental Health, 20(4), 392-411.
Yes look at the peer support literature - if you google this you will find lots of references to this. Take a look at the journal Social Work Education that has recently published articles on users becoming practitioners. A great topic of research.
There may be more informative research from the opposite situation -- practitioners becoming mental health users.
