When we don't have bias, we allow our peer to explore options that might not have been on the table, if we come in with our own bias, and then the peer gets to develop and understand what hope means for them and what that looks like.
Ever wondered how personal biases might sneak into peer support? In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Bill, Ashley, and Amanda tackle this crucial issue head-on. They share their own stories and reflections on the challenges of setting aside personal agendas and preconceptions. The trio also discusses the essential role of clinical supervision in guiding peer mentors and the influence of cultural conditioning on our biases.
Through candid conversations, they highlight the importance of truly listening to peers and building genuine rapport. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in peer support or interested in understanding how to create a more inclusive and supportive environment. Dive in to learn how overcoming biases can pave the way for hope, recovery, and a stronger community.
