Abstract:
 Taking “Peer Education Group ‘Nirvana Rebirth’” as an example, this paper presents an introduction to peer education in community rehabilitation in its five aspects: analysis and forecast, service projects, service implementation, summative evaluation and professional reflection. The case shows the intervention process called “construction of meaning of life”. Starting from the perspective of advantage and meaning construction theory, it uses the method of group social work to train peer counselors and prompt rehabilitation personnel to realize “selfhelp, mutual aid and return to society” through the three paths of “self discovery”, “emotional experience” and “meaning construction”.  

Key words: peer education, meaning construction, community rehabilitation, peer counselors, social work
