- 21. Evidence Base • Astudy of 76 individuals who had been admitted to Yale-New Haven Psychiatric Hospital (all who had at least two psychiatric hospitalizations in the previous 18 months) compared the outcomes of those who had been assigned a peer mentor with the outcomes of those who received standard post-discharge services. The individuals in the peer mentor group had double the average time to psychiatric rehospitalization than those receiving standard care – 270 days compared to 135 days. (O’Connell, et al.; 2018) • Pierce County Washington reduced involuntary hospitalization by 32% by using certified peer specialists offering respite services, leading to a savings of 1.99 million dollars in one year (Bergeson; 2011)
- 22. More Evidence • AFederally Qualified Health Center in Denver (FQHC) that used peer support had an ROI of $2.28 for every $1 spent. • 90% of individuals who used a peer crisis respite in Orange County, NY did not return to the hospital in the subsequent two years. • A Connecticut program demonstrated a significant reduction in criminal charges and alcohol use in the 12 months subsequent to the peer interventions.

Editor's Notes
- #12 Introduce myself. Background in Peer Support, and Organizational Development Homeless 3x. Very easily could have gone to jail Serious mental illness for decades. Various Diagnoses, but always it was serious and chronic. Something I manage to this day. Peer Supporter The experience of everyone is different
- #13 Disconnection from one’s best self. From the community. Is enormously disruptive, trapped, there is no way out. Hope is gone, the barriers to success seem insurmountable. Even in the moments when you want to stop, the desire, the opportunities, the temptation are incredibly powerful. Responding to a world, a reality, that others can’t grapple with. Behavior that causes dramatic distress. Willing to consider anything to escape. Frequently to escape the trauma of their lives, the families, abuse. Or it all came for no reason. Just unlucky. These are conditions of disconnection. Disconnected from one’s best, truest self. Disconnection from forms of love from family of origon, or choice. Disconnection from the cultural norms. Literal disconnection from incarceration. Disconnected from those why say they’ll help. Cause acute distress in family, friends, individual strangers victimized, Turn the darkness of years that feel lost, no good, into something wonderful and generative.
- #14 What’s REALLY going on. Sometimes will tell you something that they won’t tell others. Cultural connections
- #16 For example, in Professional Peer Support When your behavior itself is changing how others respond to you, and your capacity to tackle the rest of the world, it is hard to affiliate in a healthy manner. Sometimes you have no experience of a healthy way of living. None at all. No frame of reference. Nobody in your circle to turn to, on nobody you haven’t burned a bridge with. This is one reason why professional peer support in behavioral health takes root beyond the grassroots. Example boundary: Calling at 2am. Dating.
- #17 STAR program work in partnership
- #22 Little research has been done on peer specialists in forensic settings. However, in looking to divert, much of the research focuses on diversion from hospitalization.
- #36 Number: 19% decrease from 2015 to 2018.
