- Health & Fitness
We are a podcast dedicated specifically to Peer Professionals: individuals who use their lived experience to assist others with the same conditions or in the same situations they have been in before (usually with mental health or substance use). Peer Support is a wide concept dating back as far as human interaction. In Pennsylvania, the Peer Profession has evolved over the last decade and a half and we hope to bring you episodes that are both educational and informative on the topic of Peer Support.
