2. Floating Arts in performance
From an artist view and taking the words out how do you feel is an expression of art
We tell people in our field never fear alienation because change is evitable as a peer support
specialist but, we faced with a society that occur change in slow motion. Peers of the
floating arts can embrace that motion and keep it moving “transformational leaders.”
4. Research Time
• Research on a presentation… A Challenge
for studying Peers Support Specialists
Service in the Workplace (e.g., The Carter
Center) stated; “Many questions and
concerns arise about the hiring of peers
and embedding them within the mental
health system. For example, lower wages
for CPSs have been reported along with
limited career paths; lack of supervision,
support, desk space, and computers; and
exclusion from team meetings and access
to medical records.” This is AH Huh!
Moment. In 2006 I completed the GYPSE
program with Georgia Consumer Network
and documentations were poor then and
peers today present poor documentations.
“Pillars of Peer Support, research revealed
about peer support service or peers?,
(Daniels, 2010). They don’t have no record
of my certification in the State of Georgia.
Hello! I’m talking about RECORDS!
5. Many miss the mark in the
window of worldview
• Challenges – •Many studies have low numbers
of participants •Randomization is difficult and
sometime unethical •Outcomes require long
term longitudinal follow up •Outcomes are
often difficult to define and unclear targets for
measurement •Measurement requires both
quantitative and qualitative methods
•Financial supports have been scarce… This
just state we need more quality training.
Than Peer Literature Review research on peer
support workers (PSW) and recovery, which
was a random subsample of ten qualitative
studies were independently rated using the
RATS guidelines by a second rater, (Leamy,
2010)
6. RATS REALLY!
• (RATS). Papers were identified
from the full review which
reported data from people of
Black and minority ethnic (BME)
backgrounds. Point of
information; they acknowledge
poor abstracts written by peers,
(Leamy, 2011). Wow! Moment.
What a name associated with a
spiritual process. That is why I
love reading and researching
from scholarly review articles.
7. Performing art
When we visualize the floating arts through a peer’s
eyes it would be abridging motivation without losing
the sense of a synopsize sequence of thinking
patterns… in expression of arts with out words we feel
no sequences in storytelling.
“Say Something”
8. I have a story to tell you
• The Brothers Grimm and the Grey area…
• Check this out, what if Bill and Bob from the (A) program spiritual
perspective kept their idea to themselves? Come on now I’m
taking about a worldwide program today, millions of people
saying, The PSS way, “We Do Recover.” something so big would
rise from another creative area because spirituality is complete
and Bill and Bob probably wouldn’t exist but, the fact is the
universal program would rise in one form or another. And peer
support is an entity of the hope-shot in recovery, opening a new
window in worldview.
• As yourself what is worldview
9. Who we are
• Their window in worldview is
foreign to many, just as an artist
look at the world differently so
does the peers and their
compassion is focused on the
subject “The art work,” and a
peer’ handiworks. Perhaps, the
world wasn’t ready for artist but,
his/her work stands through the
test of time. The worldview
wasn’t ready for Bill and Bob idea
just as the world was not ready
for the peer specialist worldview
in a new dimension of the mental
health reform. Society is never
ready for a new Grey area but, I
hope you enjoyed the Brothers
Grimm story. The (2) Father of the
(A) programs history, never a
myth, never forgotten now
entering a new domain the PSS
way.
10. If given a chance, we could be
a great asset to a company
• Because we know what to say when to say it and
how to say it in many levels however, for some
just need to learn to note it. That’s a small flaw
to be called a RAT.
• The blessing of the process of the PSW, PSS, CPS
etc.… we take these ugly caterpillars’ (The Rats)
nobody wants to help and wrap them in a cocoon
full of support and encouragement regardless of
their level of sickness. And what you get back is a
beautiful butterfly ready to take wings and soar
the sky with hope in different rates of recovery.
Never mind those prestige college degrees
because they carry no weight in recovery thanks
to the fathers of the (A) program.
GREAT STORY
11. • PCAP Force is under construction for the purpose if
each one teach one (creatively) then skilled
transformational leaders will no longer be short in
supply and 85% peer support career mindset
execution is confident in their leadership pipelines.
These peer support specialists enter a new era… peers
of the floating arts, with artistry documentations
about the helper in slow motion from a window in
peer support worldview. These aspects assert that the
language of mental health reform plays a crucial role
and is in inseparable peer support roles why is it not
stressed in training? As professionals in the mental
health reform we recognize the need for nurturing our
peer supporters in the Good Orderly Direction (GOD)
in our peer run operation, like Mike “just do it, and
let’s do this.
12. Parting Thoughts
