Peer-Support for Mental Health and Trauma

Peer-support expert and activist Vesper Moore and youth advocate Felicity Krueger join Gabe Howard to discuss peer-support’s vital role in answering what healthcare systems and educational institutions are missing: symmetry of understanding. Characterized as honest conversations between people with shared experiences, peer support has great potential to empower adolescents in their journeys with mental health and trauma. Moore and Krueger discuss why peer support can be an especially valuable tool for adolescents, where it can be incorporated into wider practice, and how its risks can be mitigated. Listen to learn about how to navigate peer support among your friends and community.
