Today’s guest was Lenora Kimball, a nationally recognized leader in the peer support movement for mental health care. Peers are people with a lived, personal experience with mental illness who help one another face their fears, give respect, and encourage healing. Peers relate on a personal level, giving a unique and highly valuable perspective.
Some weeks our Not Alone broadcasts truly hit a responsive chord with listeners. Judging by the response we’ve received, our March 8 broadcast may be destined to become an all time favorite.
Our three guests were trained peer specialists; people who have faced treatment and lack of treatment, loss of family and friends, and the overwhelming sense of despair that can become part of chronic mental illness.
