I think the biggest thing that started working for us is we had opportunity. It doesn't work in every community, but fortunately for us that community was big enough that we connected with our fans, and sometimes that was just having a chit-chat around and formulating ideas.
Ever wondered how peer support can make a difference in mental health recovery across different countries? In this episode of 'Making Recovery Real', Callum Ross, a partner at Habitus Collective and an International Peer Leadership facilitator, shares his experiences and insights on the global impact of peer support.

He believes that networking and collaboration are key to advancing the movement and encourages listeners to connect and share their experiences.
