I feel like we are the chosen ones, and just having you be one of those chosen ones and be on this journey of sharing our life experience and being that support within Montana's peer network is huge and we're very grateful.
Ever wondered how someone transforms their life from battling addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others? Meet Bill Hartford, Montana's Peer Network's Peer Services Coordinator, who opens up about his remarkable journey in this episode of 'Recovery Talks'. Bill candidly shares the ups and downs of his recovery, shedding light on how peer support was a game-changer in his path to sobriety.
His story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about the power of community and the importance of giving back. Bill dives into the vital work being done by Montana's Peer Network, an organization committed to expanding recovery-oriented behavioral health services across the state. He discusses the crucial role of Certified Peer Support Specialists (CPSS) and their impact on the recovery process.
You'll hear about the significant strides made in getting peer support recognized as a licensed position under the Board of Behavioral Health, thanks to the efforts of CPAC. But it's not all about policy and titles. Bill's narrative is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is achievable and that everyone has a part to play in fostering supportive environments.
Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or just interested in the dynamics of peer support, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in to hear Bill's story and discover how you can contribute to the recovery movement in Montana.
