Faces and Places of Peer Support Webinar
Supporting Older Adults Part 3: Our Elders Speak
May 14, 2:00 – 3:30 pm ET
Presenters: Gayle Bluebird, Harvey Rosenthal, Peter Ashenden, Angela Cerio, George Ebert, and Carole Hayes-Collier (pre-recorded)
Moderators: Harvey Rosenthal and Pat Feinberg
This third webinar in the series will be a panel presentation followed by a group discussion by some of the strong advocates and leaders who raised awareness about the way people with psychiatric labels were being treated, helped people to find their own choice and voice, and through years of system change created opportunities for peer support in New York State and beyond. The webinar will focus on the most memorable moments, the accomplishments they feel are most meaningful, and what they would say to those following in their footsteps in the new world that we now face.
