Peer-to-Peer
Peer-to-Peer is a unique, experiential learning program for people with any serious mental illness who are interested in establishing and maintaining their wellness and recovery. Peer-to-Peer consists of nine two-hour units and is taught by a team of three trained “Mentors” who are personally experienced at living well with mental illness.
In Our Own Voice
In Our Own Voice is a recovery–education program in which people living with mental illness are trained to speak directly to community audiences about their experiences with brain disorders, treatment and recovery. Two people from Clackamas County who are living with mental illness are so extraordinary in their presentation that they are included in the national NAMI’s video used in this program. The educational and healing power of In Our Own Voice enriches the audience’s understanding of how people with serious mental disorders cope with the reality of their illnesses. Recovery and reclaiming productive lives is a powerful message for anyone whose life has been touched by mental illness.
