My jobcoach offered me an internship at the institution where i receive my mental health help with. But i dont really know if i want to work with people and their issues.
Has anyone done the program?
I had 2 friends who know peer support workers and i hear they keep relapsing

I don’t have experience myself, but I do have a Peer Support Specialist I see. Anyway, she loves it but says it’s a job that’s better done part time. Otherwise you get bogged down with other people’s issues and it’s not healthy

The peer support specialist at my center seems to do ok. He’s bipolar though. He’s a cool guy. I May ask him how it’s going or if it’s tough.

I did the Peer Support Specialist training class via Zoom for a week and decided that it’s not something that I could do, at least not yet. My own recovery is still too tenuous for me to be telling others how to succeed in recovery. I do really respect the people that can do it, though, it’s tough work.
