DESCRIPTION
October 2013 presentation on Magic of Peer Supports (YouTube) - http://bit.ly/PeerDrivenSystems In 2012, Magellan was directed by the Arizona Department of Health Services to reinvest $27 million in enhanced services for individuals with serious mental illness but who lacked Medicaid (AHCCCS). In partnership with the state and community, hundreds of peer and family roles were hired to work alongside case managers, clinicians and medical staff to create something truly different. The decade of recovery in the 1990s must now yield recovery and peer supports being adopted by systems.

What Have We Learned
A Mind That Found Itself
1908
Clifford Beers
Galvanized the mental hygiene reform movement and founded the organization that would later become Mental Health America, which led to systematic reforms and continuous advocacy presence
The First Support Groups
1935
Alcoholics Anonymous
The 12-Step program of substance recovery founded in the early ‘30s provided a demonstration of the power of self-help and support from a “peer” although the “peer” was called a “sponsor.” There is evidence Native Americans were doing something of the same as early as 1772.
First Clubhouse Model
1973
John Beard (Fountain House) in New York revolutionized the old “day treatment” programs to a new approach where those served were “members” and not “patients,” and given meaningful roles in the clubhouse and community.
“On Our Own” Published
1978
Judi Chamberlin
“There are real indignities and real problems when all
facets of life are controlled—when to get up, to eat, to
shower—and chemicals are put inside our bodies against
our will”
Judi Chamberlin
From Privileges to Rights
2000
Judi Chamberlin
National Council on Disabilities Report“Patient privileges, such as the ability to wear their own clothes, leave the confines of psychiatric facility, or receive visitors, should instead be regarded as basic rights”
Center for Psychiatric Rehab
1979
William Anthony & Boston University
“There is a revolution brewing in the field of severe mental illness… It is a revolution in vision – in what is believed to be possible… It will be up to consumers and family members to lead this [recovery].”In 1973, 13 leaders formed Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association (PRA)
WRAP
1997
Mary Ellen Copeland
First structured tool for self-help for individuals with mental health challenges. The key concepts of WRAP (hope, personal responsibility, education, self-advocacy, and support) laid the foundation for self-help recovery.
Polling Question #2The Americans with Disabilities Act gives civil rights protections and guarantees equal opportunity in public accommodations, employment, transportation, government services, and telecommunications. The ADA also applies to Mental Health.
A. TrueB. False
Olmstead Decision
1999
On June 22, 1999, the US Supreme Court held that unjustified segregation of persons with disabilities constitutes discrimination in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and stated that people with psychiatric disabilities are legally entitled to live in communities of their choosing
Lois Curtis
1997
Cemetery Projects
Peer Support as Science
1999
Surgeon General’s Report on Mental HealthIntroduced “self-help groups” and peer supports as an emerging evidence based practice and chronicled the history of the recovery movement
Medicaid-billable Service
1999-2001
Georgia’s Wendy Tiegreen & Larry Fricks
Georgia was the first state to have peer supports approved by CMS (Arizona followed the next year) and laid the ground work for a national sea change with more than 20 states following suit. Recovery Innovations began using the phrase “Peer Support Specialist” in 1999.

WELL & WHAM
2012
In 2001, Recovery Innovations married peer support with education by creating WELL (Wellness and Empowerment in Life and Living) as a new self-help approach to the former case management approach of compliance and monitoring of “activities of daily living.”
In 2012, the Center for Integrated Health Solutions (SAMHSA/HRSA) created WHAM (Whole Health Action Management)

Suicide Attempt Survivors
2013
Policy decisions related to the suicide prevention field have historically been made by three groups: researchers, clinicians and family members of those who died by suicide.
There have been hundreds of support groups nationally for those bereaved by suicide but few examples of similar peer opportunities for those struggling with suicide.
In 2014, a National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention Task Force will publish “Activating Hope” (provisional title) that will challenge these norms.Eduardo Vega &
