Are You Thinking of Peer Work? Have your questions answered here!
This thread has come about after our Sunday Hangout tonight where the topic of Peer Work came up.
Just to share a little about myself and how I came to get involved in Peer Work:
I was working in a totally different industry. At the same time, I was really struggling with my mental health. It was these very forums that supported my recovery, and I felt that the more I reached out to others, the more I felt supported in my own recovery.
In my recovery, I also had peer workers support me. The hope they shared was invaluable.
From there, I volunteered to be a Community Guide did this for a few years. The call then came out for Peer Workers. This was when I put my hand up, completed the necessary training, and voila! Here I am!
It's been one of the most rewarding pathways in my life. It's given me a new lease on life and something to look forward to each day.
Of course everyone's story is different, but I hope this thread can answer your questions about Peer Work.
