We have heard from our fellow mental health peers that they would like to see more diversity of when peer support and recovery programs are open.
DEADLINE TO RESPOND: Monday, November 11th. Many people would like to access peer support groups and programming when it works for them. Daytime, Monday through Friday, may work for most but not all. Could peer organizations have some evening hours or weekends?
Peer support for peers dealing with DHHS/CPS could result in fewer children being separated from their parent/s, less trauma for all, and more in-home supports for families.
We recommend using primary care providers and urgent care for mental health care to reduce long emergency department hospital stays. We also recommend preventative measures and increased accessibility to efficient help.
DEADLINE TO RESPOND: Monday, October 7th: A Peer Support Option is needed for peers dealing with DHHS/CPS. CPS training could show that a parent with a mental health diagnosis can provide a safe and loving home and Peer Support can provide beneficial assistance which could improve outcomes.
