Revolutionizing Recovery: Inside Out Peer Mentorship at University of Nevada, Reno

We wanted something shorter and more direct to college specific... it talked about eating disorders and gambling and different mental health disorders.
What if there was a way to make recovery programs more inclusive and accessible for college students? This episode dives into the Inside Out Peer Mentor Program from the Nevada Recovery and Prevention Program (NRAP) at the University of Nevada, Reno. Hosted by Sarah Nerad, the conversation features Dr. Meri Shadley and Jordan Baes, who share how this unique program is tailored to meet the diverse needs of students in recovery.
From addressing substance abuse to eating disorders and mental health challenges, the program offers a comprehensive training that fits seamlessly into a busy college schedule. Special attention is given to underrepresented groups, like women, ensuring that all students find the support they need. This isn't just about training; it's about creating a community where peer mentors are present, open, and accepting. Plus, the program includes a test to gauge its effectiveness, ensuring that it's making a real difference.
Tune in to learn how the Inside Out Peer Mentor Program is reshaping the landscape of collegiate recovery and offering new hope to students navigating their recovery journey.
