Unless you have a peer advocate or several peer advocates, or you're a part of the peer advocacy movement, being supportive to other peers, you benefit greatly by playing that role.
Imagine a world where mental health and physical well-being are seamlessly intertwined. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Julio Brionez from Mental Health America of Montana sits down with Robin Johnson to discuss the Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies Project. This initiative, led by Montana's Peer Network, emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to recovery, integrating trauma-informed care and peer support into the wellness journey.
Robin shares how the program offers interactive workshops and webinars, focusing on overall well-being and addressing critical health issues like obesity and cardiovascular disease that often accompany mental health disorders. She underscores the vital role of peer advocates in providing the necessary support to sustain healthy habits and prevent relapse. Robin likens it to receiving a heart transplant; without lifestyle changes, the new heart will fail.
This episode sheds light on how Montana's Peer Network is pioneering a shift from a maintenance model to a recovery-oriented approach, ensuring that everyone has access to comprehensive care and the empowering message that recovery is possible.
