This is wonderful. Sometimes people are confused about what is a consumer operated program. Its the total program being goverened and run by person with lived experience.
This video is awesome and offers a personal face on the issue of why Consumer Run Organizations are so very important. It is a shame that many who participated in this video are no longer working for the system due to cuts at the State level within Kansas........Ian Boyd, Boyd Research & Advocacy Group, Emporia, KS
SIDE is one of the best peer support centers in the nation. It's right by my house. Please like our Facebook page at S.I.D.E. Peer Support Center. Funny thing, this video was made quite a long time ago.
As a Certified Peer Specialist in North Carolina, I see the evidence of recovery through peer support. I am always surprised when mental health professional doubt the power of peer support, given that some of the most effective programs (with the best long-term outcomes) have been based on peer support. AA/NA are highly effective peer supported programs that have made a difference in the lives of people that traditional treatments have not helped. Peer Power!
