With all the talk about jobs lately...
Has anyone here considered (or do you already do) Peer support?
I know around here there are a lot of peer support jobs in the mental health community.
I applied for a job as a mental health phone operator (found this job on craigslist) and a job as a certified peer specialist. (also, craislist)
For both you need to have been stable for at least 1 year. I've been good for 1 year and 9 months.
I think this could be very hard, but also very rewarding work for people like us.
www.peer-support.org I think.
that one is for pittsburgh but I'm sure you can google peer support networks in your own cities.
Just thought I'd put that out there.
