🎙️ Podcast: From Asylums to Modern Interventions: The Evolution of Peer Support

Hi there,

The newest episode of the Self-Disclosed Podcast is live ✅

Listen to the episode here.

In this episode, we're joined by Nicole Lederman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and head of clinical operations at Somethings. As we explore the world of peer support, Nicole brings her clinical expertise and passion for innovative approaches to our discussion. 

We dive into its surprisingly rich history, tracing its roots back to 18th century France and following its evolution through key figures. Along the way, we also discuss how peer support has played a crucial role in various movements, from Alcoholics Anonymous to modern mental health consumer advocacy, and how it's now becoming a recognized professional service in healthcare systems across the United States.

You’ll learn:

• History of Peer Support

• Examples of Effective Peer Support Programs

• How Peer Support Fits into Clinical Care

• Integrating Peer and Clinical Support

I hope you find this content helpful.

Best,

Patrick Gilligan
