The Heart of Peer Support: Stories from the Frontline of Recovery

I have this support network around me that helps me make those better decisions- not always perfect decisions, not always the best decision, but better than how I was living.
Imagine having someone by your side who truly understands the ups and downs of recovery because they've walked that path themselves. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Montana's Peer Network brings together Bill Deavel, Ashley McLean, and Erica Durham to share their experiences as Peer Support Specialists. They delve into the vital role these specialists play in supporting each other and their clients through the often challenging journey of addiction and mental health recovery.
From professional advocacy to mentorship and networking, this discussion highlights the unique perspective that lived experience brings to the table. Erica Durham, founder of Extraordinary Distances in Helena, MT, encapsulates the essence of peer support with her powerful words, 'If I can do it, they can do it'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in or curious about the world of peer support.
You'll gain insights into how these specialists provide hope, inspiration, and practical guidance rooted in their personal journeys. Tune in to understand how Montana's Peer Network is fostering a community where recovery is not just possible but achievable.
