Well I have been in a crisis unit where peer support specialists worked twice a week. But, I used to want to be a therapist. My therapist actually brought it up that I would be good at it then I told her how I was interested in it to begin with. She then spoke to the peer support project coordinator for our local mental health organization about me. That lady told her she was excited I was interested! The PSS training isn't until the spring so I can't go yet. But, she told me therapist I could volunteer if I was interested in that!! I got her contact info and called her and we talked for a long time today about ourselves and a couple of volunteer options. One was an outreach program and the other was this craft group! I can go every week or every other and I said every other because of the cost of gas. She actually even said she will try to get me help with the cost of gas! Then, we talked about who she can help me get my foot in the door to be a peer support specialist!

I'm so excited and thankful I have those two nice ladies to help me in this adventure! I already have cool craft ideas for the group.
