Strong leadership and can control a large group of Hey Peers members.

I usually enjoy this group but today lacked acknowledgment of everyone in the room, because the discussion was totally dominated by a few members (leaving those who entered late unacknowledged) which never feels supportive :-(

Never should any leader discuss trauma in a group. They are not certified and can do more damage than good.

My Misophonia has really intensified, and it's been incredibly difficult being fully supported whenever attendees aren't practicing Zoom etiquette, non-speakers are unmuted, or "preventable" triggering sounds are coming through the airways. Nevertheless, Moses has supported me from the first day I explained my struggles with the various auditory challenges that accompany virtual spaces without EVER making me feel like my pain and suffering were any less significant than any other participant's and I'm so grateful for that level of compassion and support. This is one space where I can enter without feeling unsafe or being attacked for advocating for myself. Thanks Moses for ensuring an equitable opportunity to heal, and establishing safety for everyone in the group <3

Project Return Peer Support Network

PRPSN offers peer-to-peer support to help individuals reach their personal goals, such as living independently, going to school, getting a job, having friends and enjoying life in the community, and advancing in their recovery. Each group is individualized and self-directed. Activities and curricula are created by the facilitators and group participants. While some groups direct conversations on specific recovery-based discussions, others focus on physical wellness and its connection to mental wellness, building socialization skills, and the exploration of varying coping methods ranging from arts and music to writing and much, much more!

Basic Rules for Peer Support Groups

  • Observers/Note Takers are not permitted in these groups.
  • To foster safety and comfort for all, we do not discuss religion, politics, or race. We do respect all faiths, cultures, and spiritual beliefs.
  • Confidentiality: what is said here, stays here.
  • Please respect each other and silence when not speaking to limit background noise.
  • Be aware of other people who still need to share and retain feedback until all members have checked in. Please limit check-in to 2-3 minutes.
  • This is a safe space for everyone to share their thoughts and feelings, so there is no judgment. 
  • Please do not talk about specific medications.
  • Please be mindful of the words/language we use. Don't point profanities at others.
  • All participants must be 18 years of age or older.
  • We have great passion because of our knowledge and life experiences. FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL PRESENT, please be careful to share your own experience, strength and hope and refrain from giving advice.
  • When giving feedback, use first-person statements such as "This is what works for me" or "This is what I've done."
