We see terms like?“peer support”, “peer specialists” and “lived experience”, but what do they actually mean?? Very simply, a peer is a person who can offer support by virtue of the fact that he or she has “been there, done that”, and can relate to others who are now in a similar situation. That is also referred to as “lived experience”. People who have similar experiences [for example: substance abuse problems, the loss of a child, combat veterans and so on], can better relate and can offer more authentic empathy and validation than those without the shared experience and are often able to offer each other practical advice and suggestions for change that “trained” professionals may not know or even have thought about.

Sure, nobody can read minds, and people can’t expect specific help without asking for it. But mental health problems can make it harder to talk and ask for help in the first place. The responsibility of reaching out for help has to be matched with our shared responsibility to look out for each other - to provide safe spaces to talk, to listen, and to offer caring responses.Ask twice and let them know you're there to listenBernice,?October 21, 2019Someone who has shown me they were in my corner was my friend Sandra who I first met at work; we became friends after recognizing our similar tastes in books, and penchant for morning coffee.We'd eventually come to realize we had more in common than initially thought.I don't know how to explain it fully but when I talked to her, about anything and everything I felt that sense of "this is a safe space, this person gets me".Little things can reduce mental health stigmaRhiannon,?May 29, 2018I am ashamed to say that most of my life I have ignored mental health stigma. I am even more ashamed to say that what has woken me up to it, has been my personal experience.Why so ashamed you might say? We all only tend to care about something once it affects us personally.0It’s not just time to talk about mental health - it’s time to ask, listen and careJames,?February 6, 2020When it comes to the need to talk about our mental health, we seem to put all of the responsibility in the court of the person who is already struggling. Sure, nobody can read minds, and people can’t expect specific help without asking for it. But mental health problems can make it harder to talk and ask for help in the first place. The responsibility of reaching out for help has to be matched with our shared responsibility to look out for each other - to provide safe spaces to talk, to listen, and to offer caring responses.Ask twice and let them know you're there to listenBernice,?October 21, 2019Someone who has shown me they were in my corner was my friend Sandra who I first met at work; we became friends after recognizing our similar tastes in books, and penchant for morning coffee.We'd eventually come to realize we had more in common than initially thought.I don't know how to explain it fully but when I talked to her, about anything and everything I felt that sense of "this is a safe space, this person gets me".Little things can reduce mental health stigmaRhiannon,?May 29, 2018I am ashamed to say that most of my life I have ignored mental health stigma. I am even more ashamed to say that what has woken me up to it, has been my personal experience.Why so ashamed you might say?
