Using technology to show young people that their situation - whatever that situation may be - is a shared circumstance. And in that shared circumstance is community, and in that community is inspiration and hope.
Conventional methods of social science research overly confound social determinants of health and adolescent development, relying too heavily on individual level measures of change. This translates into a dominant and inaccurate pathology that treats and assumes young people of color (YPOC) as “risk” or problem, influencing the ways in which policies, practices, and investments in academic achievement, student support, staff support, and school discipline are implemented, perpetuating inequitable conditions for YPOC.Listening to Heal (LtH) is a community-engaged inquiry process that explores the experiences of trauma for YPOC in the context of school, including the impact on social emotional health, adolescent development, learning and achievement, school discipline, and the school to prison pipeline. LtH builds on RYSE’s Listening Campaign (LC), a similar and preceding inquiry that revealed young people’s profound, collective experiences of oppression, the stigma of place (being from Richmond, CA), and not feeling valued or belonging.
LtH’s aim is to effectively serve the needs of YPOC by 1) understanding their lived experience in the context of ongoing trauma 2) informing more effective school based interventions and strategies, and 3) influencing/advocating for school and other institutional policies, protocols, relationships, and investments that are restorative, just, and healing.
Delta Beta Nu Leadership Development Workshopmaryadawson
The Delta Beta Nu sorority will host a 4-day leadership development workshop from December 4-7, 2008. The workshop will include leadership assessments, teambuilding exercises, ethics workshops, and discussions on diversity. Participants will learn skills to educate their peers on issues like alcohol, drugs, body image, and hazing. Each member will present on one of these topics and propose ideas to reduce their negative effects. The goal is to help the members develop leadership skills and promote positive behavior within the Greek community at Boise State University.
The document discusses safety planning for domestic violence situations and introduces a more comprehensive approach called the VIGOR (Victim Inventory of Goals, Options, and Risks). The VIGOR is based on multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) principles and aims to create personalized safety plans by identifying women's key risks across various domains (e.g. physical, financial, legal), their priorities, strengths, and over 133 options. This contrasts with traditional checklists and allows women to make choices based on addressing their specific risk priorities. Pilot studies found women found the VIGOR more helpful than past safety planning. The approach aims to be holistic by considering women's broader needs beyond immediate physical safety.
2015 MFLNMC VLE Session #1: Relating! Caring and Culturemilfamln
Centered around a theme of reenergizing and rejuvenating the work environment, this FREE web-based learning opportunity is open to the public and will be similar to a professional conference – no travel involved! Part 2 of the Virtual Learning Event Session will focus on professional development in the area of ‘Cultural Competencies.’
Cultural competence and linguistic competence are widely recognized as fundamental aspects of quality in health/behavioral health care and in the provision of social services and supports. Cultural and linguistic competence are viewed as essential approaches for reducing disparities and for promoting equity by improving access, utilization, service delivery, and health and well-being among patients, their families, and communities. While the evidence suggests the efficacy of these approaches, many in health/behavioral health care and social service organizations continue to struggle with the full integration of cultural and linguistic competence into their policies, structures, practices, and procedures. This VLE session will explore the conceptual frameworks of cultural and linguistic competence and examine their relevance for supporting service members and their families.
Bullying has existed throughout history and cultures, but modern technology has allowed it to spread more widely. Cyberbullying through social media, texts, and other digital means can happen anywhere and anytime. Victims of bullying experience psychological effects like fear, anxiety, depression, and increased risk of suicidal thoughts. Bystanders also experience negative impacts if they witness bullying or know victimized peers. Effective interventions require addressing the problem school-wide rather than just with individuals, and may include counseling, therapy, and teaching skills like anger management and relationship building.

Portraying children as victims: Does it enhance or compromise their protection?BASPCAN
Portraying children as victims can both enhance and compromise their protection. While depicting children as vulnerable victims can help justify interventions and advocacy, it also risks reducing children's agency and silencing their voices. This document discusses representations of children associated with armed groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It notes that while international organizations often portray these children solely as victims, the children themselves and their communities views are more complex, with children sometimes claiming they voluntarily joined and do not want demobilization. The document argues for more nuanced and systemic approaches that acknowledge the diversity and complexity of experiences rather than simplistic victim narratives.
This document summarizes a webinar on building effective cross-cultural mentoring relationships. It discusses research showing that while same-race matches can provide comfort, cross-race relationships can expand views when cultural issues are addressed. An in-person training agenda was presented that focused on cultural self-awareness, understanding obstacles and solutions, and recommendations for matching mentors and mentees across differences. Resources on cultural competence were provided to help nurture diversity in relationships. The goal was to contribute to ongoing discussion on integrating culture into youth mentoring.
This document proposes a Social Injustice Awareness Training program at Montclair State University. It aims to promote respect, address social injustices, and manage diversity on campus. Key goals are to increase student awareness of social injustices, reduce discrimination experiences, and increase discrimination reporting. The program would be assessed using surveys to measure these key performance indicators before and after training. It identifies opportunities through community partnerships and threats from competing programs or negative social media influences.
This document presents a proposal for a professional development advocacy plan called "YES, WE CAN" aimed at providing support and education to men with a history of domestic violence in Mauritius. The program would use an interactive group format to teach emotional intelligence and communication skills. It discusses the prevalence of domestic violence in Mauritius despite existing interventions. The proposal argues that current programs have not fully addressed the root causes of violence by examining male socialization and development from a young age. A developmental approach is needed to understand how boys are discouraged from emotional expression which may later manifest as domestic violence in intimate relationships as adults.
LGBT seniors face discrimination, stigma, and lack of trust in the healthcare system due to their experiences growing up when homosexuality was considered a mental illness and crime.
Interviews with LGBT seniors and professionals revealed fears of discrimination, loneliness, and not being understood by healthcare providers.
Existing phone tree programs pair LGBT seniors with supportive volunteers for weekly contact, aiming to alleviate isolation and build trust in the system through empathetic communication.
Teens primarily use social media sites like MySpace and Facebook to maintain existing friendships rather than meet new people. These sites allow teens to extend their social interactions beyond physical boundaries. While social media can help teens get to know acquaintances better, they typically only use it to connect with people they already know offline or friends of friends. Performing friendships online through features like friending and displaying connections reflects teens' social status and identities. However, other features like ranking friends in a hierarchy on profiles can introduce unnecessary social pressures. Social media also tends to amplify teen drama that occurs both online and offline over issues of popularity, attention, and status.
This document provides an overview of a training session on understanding equality. It begins with introducing the trainer and setting the purpose and ground rules. It then covers topics like inequality, stereotypes, equality, diversity, equity, and inclusive practice. Throughout, it emphasizes developing shared understandings and perspectives. It stresses that achieving equality is an ongoing process that requires challenging assumptions and changing culture over time through open dialogue and relationship building. The goal is to promote wellbeing, health, and empowerment for all.
Positive youth development aims to provide opportunities and supports to help all young people develop competencies in areas like competence, usefulness, belonging, and empowerment. Effective programs provide safe environments, caring relationships, skill-building opportunities, and engage youth, families, and communities. Research shows young people benefit from developing assets like physical, social, cognitive, vocational, and moral competencies. Demonstrated programs apply these principles through activities like mentoring, tutoring, leadership development, and community service.
This document discusses how teenagers use social networking sites (SNSs) for friendship-driven practices. It examines how teens make friends, perform friendships through features like friend requests and top friends lists, negotiate friendship hierarchies, and deal with issues of status, attention, and drama on SNSs. While SNSs allow teens to connect with more people, they typically interact with acquaintances and friends of friends on these sites. Public displays of connections and friend counts on profiles represent social status and identity for teens. SNSs also amplify and spread teen drama more widely.
Eesha Sharma is a professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business who has studied how perceptions of personal wealth affect decision-making. Her research has found that feeling financially insecure or deprived, even if not accurately reflecting one's actual financial situation, can bias decisions in several ways:
1) It leads people to prefer scarce or hard-to-get products that seem to offer status or proof of success. However, this preference disappears if the scarcity is due to others already owning the product.
2) When feeling poor, people focus more on opportunities to earn money rather than save it. They prefer jobs that emphasize bonuses over equivalent jobs that emphasize savings.
3) Surprisingly, feeling

This document discusses assessment in education. It defines assessment as analyzing and determining the importance, amount, or value of learning outcomes for individuals or groups. Assessment includes testing and obtaining information relative to objectives or goals. It measures knowledge, skills, values, attitudes and various aspects of development. Measurement assigns quantities or scores to acquired traits while evaluation determines the quality or worth of achievements based on standards. Formative assessment gathers feedback during learning to improve instruction, while summative assessment measures learning after a unit. Assessment methods include selected response exams, performance tasks, portfolios, grading, and formative feedback through discussion monitoring.

This document discusses alternative delivery modes (ADMs) in the Philippine education system. It describes several ADMs used at the elementary and secondary levels, including the Modified In-School Off-School Approach (MISOSA) and the e-IMPACT system. MISOSA addresses issues like congestion and absenteeism by using self-instructional materials and community schools. e-IMPACT is a technology-enhanced system where parents, teachers and the community collaborate to provide quality, low-cost education. The document provides details on the implementation and expansion of these ADMs to more schools nationwide.

Professional Philosophy of Helping Religion that God our.docxstilliegeorgiana
Professional Philosophy of Helping
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to
look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from
being polluted by the world"
-James 1:27-
My desire to help and serve others stems from my Christian faith. I grew
up going to church every week and when I started 6th grade, I began
volunteering in Sunday school classrooms for younger kids. I continued
to volunteer in different areas at my church through my high school
years. The youth group I was involved with also provided me with
opportunities to volunteer in our community with several organizations.
I always enjoyed my volunteer experiences because I was able to be
with my friends and I knew we were making a difference in our
community. The fulfillment I got out of these opportunities doesn’t stop
there however; it is much deeper than that. In James 1:27, Jesus calls us
to look after those who are struggling and need help, love, and support.
By serving others through a career in human services, I have peace
knowing that I am fulfilling what my creator has called me to do.

Personal Philosophy Statement of Human Services
In the world, there is good and evil. Humanity has been given the gift of free will; and, as such,
there are many choices during one’s lifetime. Every person has made a wrong choice at one time
or another. For some, the wrong choice has been of short duration, with few, if any,
ramifications. These persons, once enlightened, have self-corrected and moved on. For others,
though, the choices are more involved and self-correction is difficult, if not impossible. All
persons, regardless of their past or their present, have value and are important. Their narratives
matter - they are a part of the body of world citizens; and they deserve to be heard and to be
recognized.
Some persons needing assistance and/or clarity will find their way into the human services of
their own free will, others will not; but they will come. However they arrive, there must be no
condemnation but compassion, no enmity but empathy. There can be no judgments of their past,
but only justice found for their future. Life, for some, has been a struggle and filled with
challenges. Consequently, as human service workers, there will be opportunities to model life in
a framework of possibilities and hope.
Human service workers will enter into these lives through the personas of natural helpers, social
workers, counselors, pastors, physicians, nurses, and many others. These helpers will show the
way through the labyrinth, either on a familiar path they have trod, or through a calling not easily
described. They will be the facilitators in determining a course of treatment and action that will
begin the process of healing for each individual. This process can only occur through team
building with the client, and by their agreement a ...
The document discusses implementing empathy in adolescent issues. It argues that a lack of empathy in society contributes to maladaptive behaviors in adolescents. When adolescents do not receive empathy and support from role models, they may join gangs or engage in criminal behavior. The document advocates for more training on empathy in communities, schools, and justice systems. This could help adolescents develop healthier behaviors and reduce juvenile delinquency and crime rates.
This document discusses how early stage mediation can help ensure access to dispute resolution for fragile families. It begins by defining fragile families as unmarried parents and their children born out of wedlock. It then discusses four themes from a task force on how to design an ADR system that effectively addresses diversity: better understanding diverse end users; supporting diversity among ADR providers; increasing cultural competence of providers; and increasing community access to ADR tailored to diverse needs. The document calls for actions to apply these themes to ensure fragile families can access and benefit from early stage mediation.

Colleague 1: Lisa
Hello Everyone,
There are several key life events that have influenced Sara's relationships. Sarah has experienced loss, and because of it she has become depressed and lonley. She states, "Every since my husband died theres been no one to talk to", (Laureate 2013). This influences her relationships because, she has become withdrawn and angry. After her husband died Sarah, and her daughter began living together. "Sara and her daughter have lived together for the past 10 years since Stephanie returned home after a failed relationship and was unable to live independently", (Plummer Makris & Brocksen, 2014). This influences her relationships because, she feels that Stephanie is taking over, and she has no control over her environment. She has also acquired the habit of hoarding things which influences her relationships because her other daughter Jane refuses to come visit her because of the conditions of the house.Her daughter Stephanie is also having issues over her hoarding. As Sara's social worker, I might apply a theory of successful aging such as Activity Theory to her case by encouraging her to get physically active by going outside to walk, by joining a gym that has programs for the elderly, and by going on short trips with Stephanie. This will also help them bond more. "There is considerable evidence that being physically and mentally active helps to maintain the physiological , psychological, and iintellectual functions of older people", (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman 2016).

1. The document discusses ways for nursing students to support each other and prevent burnout. It provides examples like creating study groups, checking in on each other, and providing emotional support.
2. Coping mechanisms for preventing burnout as healthcare workers include scheduling self-care activities, asking for help, and fostering a supportive work culture. Bullying is an unprofessional behavior that can lead to negative consequences.
3. Signs of stress and burnout in classmates include fatigue and changes in mood. Students should help each other by explaining course material, finding additional resources, or referring them to counseling support. Workplace bullying and a toxic environment can increase nurse turnover rates.

Respond to at least one colleague by describing ways to fulfill the Ethical Standard 1.05 and develop your cultural awareness, competence, and humility.
Marquetta’s post:
There are different aspects and things that make up a culture. A group's traditions, holidays, morals, and beliefs can make up a person’s culture. The world is made up of different cultures, which plays a vital role in understanding the individual situation and guiding the social worker on how to interact with the individual. Culture can be defined as how a person can view the world based on their interactions with the world and their environment. There are different aspects of culture, such as religion, ethnicity, and region (Alvarez-Hernandez & Choi, 2017).
Although I am an African American, I consider my culture Southern African American. My experiences of being raised in the south as an African American can differ from another African American woman in a different part of the world. Even within the realm of being a southern African American woman, being raised by my family makes my experience and culture different from someone raised a few miles from me. Within my family culture, religion, relationships, and a sense of community are vital aspects of our culture. These individual aspects together help form my culture and are why I view the world a certain way and analyze things within the world.
My first memory of cultural differences was the celebration of Halloween. For instance, it was customary not to trick-o-treat or go out during Halloween. When permitted, we would have church lock-ins where we played games, roasted hotdogs, slept in the church, and did things within the church. We were not permitted to dress up in scary costumes but did wear things like angel costumes or people from the Bible. This was a norm in my culture. I did not know anything different until starting school. I could hear other children talking about trick or treating, which caused me to have questions. This interaction allowed me to see a cultural difference at a young age. My viewpoint and lens to which I saw the holiday and world were shaped by my upbringing, which is a part of my culture and not just individual differences.
According to the NASW Code of ethics 1.05, A social worker should work to understand a family’s culture regarding their diversity and unjust treatment. The social worker should work to understand their “race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical ability (National Association of Social Workers, 2021)”. A social worker who does not understand a person or family culture risks being biased or showing racism inadvertently (TED, 2017). Lack of cultural awareness can cause distrust and tension in the client and practitioner relationship. For example, a practitioner that was primarily raised in t ...
Focus on Youth is an 8-session HIV and pregnancy prevention program for African American youth ages 12-15. It uses interactive activities like games and roleplays to provide facts about HIV/STDs and teach decision-making, communication, and negotiation skills. Originally called Focus on Kids, it was adapted based on feedback from pilot programs. Evaluations found the intervention increased condom use and reduced risky behaviors more than a control program. The curriculum aims to empower youth to make healthy decisions by addressing social pressures and risks of unsafe behaviors.

From Aging in Prisons to Caring Justice: A Solution Focused Approach for Corr...Tina Maschi
This article explores aging in prisons and proposes a "caring justice" approach as a solution. Key points:
- The number of aging and ill prisoners is growing rapidly due to inadequate healthcare in prisons. Interviews with 100 formerly incarcerated older adults revealed experiences of both trauma and resilience.
- A "caring justice" perspective prioritizes compassion over punishment. It shifts thinking from problem-focused to solution-focused, integrating both care and justice.
- This approach visualizes a kinder society based on principles like compassion, equality and peace. It draws on examples from countries employing restorative justice practices for older prisoners.
Torres Family Case Study: Neill, Rodriguez, Tanner, Zehender PowerPointJennifer Neill
The document provides background information on the Torres family which consists of father Jose, mother Martha, son Aaron (17), and son Miguel (12). Aaron has known for a long time that he is homosexual but has kept it secret from his family out of fear of disapproval. The document discusses cultural considerations and strengths when working with Hispanic families. It also examines potential primary problems of chronic stress for Aaron related to his family's response and his internal conflicts regarding self-acceptance. Secondary problems could include religious conflicts and fear of discrimination. The document recommends culturally appropriate evidence-based intervention strategies such as a strengths-based perspective and narrative approach to help Aaron disclose to his family and support basic human rights.
GENaustin was originally called The Ophelia Project and was created in 1996 by 12 mothers in Austin, Texas who were concerned about declining self-esteem in middle school girls. Their goal was to empower girls and address issues like eating disorders, depression, and risky behaviors. They provide an after school program called ClubGEN led by trained high school students to help middle school girls build confidence and life skills through discussions of topics like body image, relationships, and media literacy. Studies show the program helps improve girls' school performance and reduce disciplinary issues.
Response 1Two important factors to consider when preparing tmickietanger
Response 1
Two important factors to consider when preparing to talk with Seamus about his concerns are the potential reactions of his family and peers, as well as any previous struggle that Seamus has had with depression/anxiety or any other health matters (Ryan, 2010). I would want to know if Seamus has ever dealt with suicidal ideation or tendencies, which would drastically alter the treatment plan and necessitate more support for Seamus (Laureate Education, 2014c). Another important factor is how Seamus anticipates his family finding out which may cause additional stress and anxiety (Ryan, 2010).
One factor Seamus should consider before approaching his family is to know how accepting or rejecting his family is, which sometimes has a lot to do with religious beliefs (Ryan, 2010). It would be helpful for Seamus to create a support network in order to deal with his family once he has told them, as sometimes families can make things a lot more difficult and have negative life outcomes for children that are in the LBTQ community and do not have the support from their families (Ryan, 2010). The support group can either be family or friends, though studies have proven that extended members of families like cousins and uncles can also create a super supportive atmosphere which benefit the LBTQ teen (Ryan, 2010).
One strategy to reduce risk or bolster Seamus’ resilience in the face of possible negative consequences of his family would be to get a therapist for Seamus that he would see regularly (Laureate Education, 2014c). It would also be helpful to consult with an MFT in order to help the family cope with the news and learn to accept their child with this new information (Laureate Education, 2014c).

Response 2
Explain at least two important factors that you would consider when preparing to talk with Seamus about his concerns.
A factor that I would consider when preparing to speak with Seamus about his concerns is to help assure him that his sexual preference is absolutely fine. I would want him to be self confident and not change his sexual preference based on what his peers perceive him as. Another factor to be considered is to develop an understanding of homosexual males and the criticism that they receive on the daily. According to Roof (1992), science has scrutinized the homosexuality of males "objectively", which in return has produced evidence that revitalizes hackneyed beliefs in the "essentially" non-masculine nature of gay men.
Then explain at least one factor Seamus should consider before approaching his family.

EDUC 6358-Strategies for Working with Diverse Children
September 6th, 2022
Week 1/Post 1: Formulating Goals
1.
The two professional goals you developed related to anti-bias education and your work in an early childhood setting.
· Goal 1: Developing relationships to form inclusive communities in the classroom
· Goa1 2: Develop an awareness of how unconscious bias can impact the classroom.
2.
The ways in which the readings and media segment from this week have influenced the formulation of your goals. Be sure to support your comments with specific references to and/or examples from the Required Resources.
According to Walden University (2011) “The world today is a world in which children are going to grow up side-by-side with people who are very, very different from them. The notion of growing up in a community of people very much like you is gone” (pg. 1). I also came across a website “
Teaching Tolerance,” where it discussed critical practices for anti-bias education and teacher leadership. This article was about the importance of valuing and embracing multiple perspectives to reach the best and most comprehensive approach to leadership. The author suggests teacher leaders reflect on what they still don’t know and need to learn about something to seek out professional development for growth in those areas; the author really promotes the idea of having self-awareness to diminish bias and become culturally aware in teacher leader practices (Learning for Justice, 2022). Both the “Walden and Teaching Tolerance” sources are about the road and progression to becoming an anti-bias educator.
3.
The ways in which the implementation of these goals will help you to work more effectively with young children and families.
I aspire to be an anti-biased channel in which students will experience culture in a vast and more comprehensive way. Children’s experiences in education should teach the four goals of anti-bias education (i.e., identity, diversity, justice, and activism) and promote the ultimate goal of equality and social equity for all (NAEYC, n.d.). I am, the compilation of everything experienced in my life. With this, we are constantly growing, changing, adapting new view and discarding others. Each experience builds on the last to continue to reinforce the structure you are each day. As future educators, it is our job to be the future of knowledge. What we say, do, actions we take directly reflect what our students see. Choose your curriculum wisely, but choose your words even more carefully. Take the wealth of knowledge you and only your life has accumulated and share it with each class you have the chance to influence. Be the spark of change and the advocate to every child that walks through your door.
4.
Challenges you might encounter on your journey to become an early childhood professional who understands and practices anti-bias education.

Jails and Prisons
Looking inside total institutions
Definition of total institution
Canadian Erving Goffman coined this term
He wrote, “A total institution may be defined as a place of residence and work where a large number of like-situated individuals cut off from the wider society for an appreciable period of time together lead an enclosed formally administered round of life (Goffman, 1968: 11).
"Total institutions (such as prisons, boarding schools, psychiatric hospitals, concentration camps, etc. ) are distinctive and have much in common" (Goffman, 1968: 15) because, as Goffman points out, they depart from the basic social arrangements in modern western society "that the individual tends to sleep, play and work in different places with different co-participants, under different authorities and without an overall rational plan" (Goffman, 1968: 17).

Also, please read a piece published by the Marshall project here https://www.themarshallproject.org/2018/07/12/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-prisoner
Finally, hear the story of Mr. Melendez who spent 17 years on death row for a crime he did not commit. Now exonerated, he has visited UTA and spoken about this experience. He paints a vivid picture of those 17 years here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k6C7ZVhaHE
Why is working in prisons important for social workers?
Criminal justice system is marked by the confluence of race, class, gender, and inequality in the United States
Mass incarceration has been called one the most pressing social problems of our time (Mauer & Chesney-Lind, 2002)
The CJ system is fragmented
Over 50,000 different agencies responsible
Prisons account for the fastest growing segment of government employment (nearly 750,000 people in 2004)
Most people are imprisoned for non-violent crimes
Remember that Race, Class, Gender Matter
African American men disproportionately imprisoned
Women account for the fastest growing prison population
African American women: 571% increase in 20 years
Latinas: 131% increase in 20 years
Caucasian women: 75% increase in 20 years
More women are incarcerated per capita for drug crimes than men (about 34% of women and 19% of men)
60% of men and 40% of women unemployed at arrest, 1/3 earned less than 5000$ last year.

Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Handsmediavestfzllc
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going. Your phone becomes an extension of your hand, perpetually glued to the GME ticker. It's a roller-coaster ride - every dip a stomach punch, every rise a shot of adrenaline.
Then, it happens. Roaring Kitty, the forum's resident legend, fires off a cryptic tweet. The apes, as the GME investors call themselves, erupt in a frenzy. Could this be it? Is the rocket finally fueled for another epic launch? You grip your phone tighter, heart pounding in your chest. It's a wild ride, but you're in it for the long haul.

of experiential knowledge, and skills, and social learning,” which “plays an important and invaluable role in recovery. Residents
encourage and engage each other in recovery and provide each other with a sense of belonging, supportive relationships,
valued roles, and community” (SAMHSA, 2006, p. 1).
Peers share with one another their experiences, their strengths, and their hope—a powerful combination for
recovery” (TDMHDD, 2010, p. 194).
The International Association of Peer Supporters (iNAPS) specifically includes youth in their definition of peer support. iNAPS
states that peer support is “casual, intermittent, volunteer and informal support from one who has had the same or similar
experiences in a broad range of settings.
Mead and colleagues (2001) define peer support as a process of giving and receiving that is based on three key principles:
Mead goes on to say, “Peer support is…about understanding another’s situation empathically through the shared experience
of emotional and psychological pain. When people find affiliation with others [whom] they feel are ‘like’ them, they feel a
connection. This connection, or affiliation, is a deep, holistic understanding based on mutual experience where people are
able to ‘be’ with each other without the constraints of traditional (expert/patient) relationships” (Mead, Hilton, & Curtis, 2001,
p. 7).
Respect
Shared Responsibility
And mutual agreement of what is helpful

Peer supporters often benefit personally from the work that they do. Providing a valued service:
In fact, a study in Belgium found that providing peer support was more beneficial than receiving it (Bracke,
Christiaens, & Verhaeghe, 2008).
MacNeil and Mead (2003) presented standards for peer support developed by peer support providers, traditional service
providers, and people who accessed support services. Seven standards were identified:
Mead, Hilton, and Curtis (2001) have further elaborated that peer support is “a system of giving and receiving help founded on key
principles of respect, shared responsibility, and mutual agreement of what is helpful” (p. 135). Through the process of offering
“support, companionship, empathy, sharing, and assistance,” “feelings of loneliness, rejection, discrimination, and frustration”
frequently encountered by persons…are countered (Stroul, 1993; p. 53).

Salzer and his associates (2002) describe five theories that underlie peer delivered services:
Social support,
Experiential knowledge,
Social learning theory,
Social comparison theory, and
Helper-therapy principle.
Social Support is the “availability of people on whom we can rely: people who let us know that they care about,
value, and love us” and are willing to assist us to meet our resource and psychosocial needs (Sarason, Levine,
Basham & Sarason, 1983).
Experiential knowledge tends to be unique and pragmatic, and may be specific to one’s circumstances. However,
when the information is combined with others who share a similar problem, common elements regarding both
problems encountered and their resolution emerge (Shubert & Borkman, 1994).
Peers who interact with peers with positive outcomes enhance their own sense of self-efficacy in dealing with their
illness, its ramifications, and with the treatment system. Peers who have confidence in coping with their illness are
more hopeful and optimistic about their future (Salzer & associates, 2002).
18. Social comparison theorizes that individuals are attracted to others who share commonalities with themselves,
such as a similar psychiatric illness, in order to establish a sense of normalcy for themselves (Festinger, 1954). By
interacting with others who are perceived to be better than them, peers are given a sense of optimism and
something to strive toward. This upward comparison is considered to provide other peers with an incentive to
develop their skills and to offer them hope. In contrast, downward comparison to those who seem so much worse
off than themselves puts in perspective how bad things could be for themselves (Salzer & associates, 2002).
Skovholt (1974) summarized the personal benefits derived from effectively helping others: 1) the helper feels an
enhanced sense of interpersonal competence from making an impact on another’s life; 2) the helper feels that she/
he has gained as much as she/he has given to others; 3) the helper receives “personalized learning” from working
with others, and 4) the helper acquires an enhanced sense of self from the social approval received for those
helped. With this positive feedback and affirmation of themselves, they are in a better position to help others.
Peer support/peer provided services proffer a mechanism for serving individuals in need of mental health services,
but who are alienated from the traditional mental health system (Segal et al., 1998). For example, persons who are
homeless or others who have had negative experiences with traditional mental health services or, for whatever
reason, are opposed to using the traditional mental health system may find these peer provided services more
acceptable. Persons who have experienced similar situations as these peers may be far more effective in engaging
these individuals into mental health services or peer providers may be more effective in working with these
individuals (Segal et al., 1998).
