If it was possible to create this type of world that we're describing, online peer counseling would be kind of the number one first-line treatment for mental health and that professional support like seeing a psychologist psychiatrist.
What if the best person to help you through a tough time was someone who's been there too? In this episode of 'Mental Insights', host Brendan Cutuli sits down with Tim Desmond, a faculty scholar at Antioch University and founder of several non-profits, to explore the groundbreaking concept of Peer Collective mental health. Desmond's journey through Plum Village and the creation of the Morning Sun Mindfulness Center set the stage for his innovative approach to mental wellness.
Peer Collective offers emotional support through peer counseling, where individuals connect with others who share similar experiences. This episode dives into how this model can make mental health care more accessible and relatable for everyone. Desmond also shares practical exercises to boost mental wellness and his vision for an ideal mental health system. Whether you're seeking support or looking to understand new methods in mental health care, this conversation offers valuable insights.
Tune in to discover how peer counseling could change the way we think about emotional support.
