Role of peer support in mental health crisis services webinar on catch up!
Mental health crisis support is changing. We’re starting to see innovative approaches that are peer-led, strengths based & recovery focused.
Rachel Middleton, Penumbra’s Distress Brief Intervention (DBI), Network Manager talks about how, with a focus on peer support, they are taking a different approach to helping people in distress.
We’re delighted to also be joined by Thom Stewart, Expert-by-Experience from An Ait Eile Cooperative. Thom shares learning from Galway Community Café a free, out-of-hours mental health service designed and delivered by people with lived experience, in partnership with the local business community and mental health services.
