PEER Voices PodcastThe voices you never hear: Welcome to Peer Voices!There are plenty of podcasts about mental health and psychology, but one point of view is usually missing – that of a peer. Peers are those of us who have a lived experience with mental illness, addiction, and trauma, and there is finally a podcast made by peers for peers. There are lots of clinicians and family members talking about what peers need to do (or what needs to be done to or for us). However, those who actually live in recovery are rarely invited to join the conversation. Our hosts, Juliet C. Dorris-Williams and Gabe Howar...2018-10-3020 min
