"This guide was created for a very specific purpose: to help make trauma-informed peer support available to women who are trauma survivors and who receive or have received mental health and/or substance abuse services. It is designed as a resource for peer supporters in these or other settings who want to learn how to integrate trauma-informed principles into their relationships with the women they support or into the peer support groups they are members of. The goal is to provide peer supporters—both male and female— with the understanding, tools, and resources needed to engage in culturally responsive, trauma-informed peer support relationships with women trauma survivors. " Peer Supporters who have the lived experience of incarceration can work directly with women who are still incarcerated or formerly incarcerated. You can access the guide here

Peer supporters are needed in a situation like this, simply because there are people who are crying for help without no one to listen to them, Regardless of what gender it can be, we should always be willing enough to extend out hands to those who are in need of helps, especially to those who are dealing with serious, life threatening matter. Please take note that there are still voices all over the world that are just waiting to be heard. I hope that we are still not yet late to do it. The space is so relaxed, warm and inviting with many materials sourced from craftsmen in the Basque region, you seriously won’t want to leave! Leave a Reply. |
