HOPE Peer Support - Hold On Pain Ends

HOPE Peer Support - Hold On Pain Ends Hello, my name is Thurman Williams, founder and director of H.O.P.E. Peer Support Foundation. Check us out at hopepeersupport.com.

We offer free, straightforward peer support to anyone struggling with mental health and or substance use disorders. While PSPs are not clinicians, they are part of a clinical team. PSPs bridge the gap between formal clinical education and theory and the fundamental struggle of the individual. Supporting your loved one takes a certain kind of relatability that can only be acquired and understood by

someone who has had the same experiences. As a PSP, we walk with your loved one through the recovery process, not as an “expert” but as a peer.

A bit of history on the very beginning of the peer support profession.

The beginning of peer support /peer mentor’s first

started in a psychiatric hospital in France in the late

18th century. The governor of the hospital recognized

The value of employing recovered patients as hospital

staff. The Peer staff were often praised by the Chief

Physician Philippe Pinel for being kind, gentle, and honest
and humane.
