Using Your Recovery Story
It's often during this stage that a full recovery story can be the most effective. Sharing where you've been-and how you emerged from feeling like "life was limited"-can be one of the most powerful techniques you can use as a peer specialist.

So often, mental health professionals, who haven't had the lived experience, are at a loss as to how to help someone move beyond this stage. But peer specialists can share practical, real and authentic stories with their peers that show them what life can be like beyond that "limited" stage.
