This learning series asks: How can we create spaces where all peer professionals feel safe? How do we support Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) peers and implement anti-racist practices within peer support?
In Session 3, join us in collaboration with facilitator Evelyn Clark, and guest speaker, peer support specialists Jaime Yan Faurot, Khalia Williams-O'Neal, and Pattie Marshall, who will all speak to how anti-racist practices can be implemented for peer support agencies and services. This affinity group opens opportunities to discuss ongoing support, career paths, and how BIPOC peers can navigate the field. It will also offer a space to learn from other peer specialists.
Peer support agencies and peer specialists who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color who work in mental health and cross-systems. We also welcome allies and other roles to help support the BIPOC peer workforce.
