Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾. Is the episode with Katara going to be on here soon? 

On this week’s episode, Kea shares what she does as a peer recovery specialist and how to become one. Did you know that peer support lowers the overall cost of mental health services by reducing re-hospitalization rates and days spent in inpatient services, increasing the use of outpatient services? Peer support improves quality of life, increases patient engagement, self-care, and health, according to the evidence for peer support by Mental Health America.

What Are Peer Recovery Specialists & How Do They Support Mental Health?

Fireflies Unite Podcast With Kea is a weekly podcast from the perspective of individuals thriving with a mental illness created by suicide survivor T-Kea Blackman. The mission of the podcast is to bring light into darkness (just like the fireflies), encourage people of color to seek treatment, end the stigma and raise awareness. We want to show that mental illness does not have "a look"; it also includes everyday high functioning people. The podcast is also designed for people to see how everyday decisions impact their mental health such as finances, relationships, and nutrition. Podcast episodes are available every Monday.
