Peer Specialists Promoting Community Reintegration of Individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities Returning Home from Jail or Prison
August 8, 2013 / 2:00 – 3:30 PM
Greetings,
The Temple University Collaborative on Community Inclusion of Individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities, in cooperation with the National Mental Health Consumers’ Self-Help Clearinghouse, invites your participation in a webinar on August 8, 2013.
It is the fifth event in our popular webinar series on the varied roles peer specialists can play in promoting greater participation in the everyday community life of the individuals they serve. August’s presentation will focus on the role peer specialists can play in assisting individuals with mental health conditions who are involved with the criminal justice system.
This series is jointly funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and is designed to provide a national platform for the discussion of roles that peer specialists and peer-run programs can play in offering the supports and services that individuals may need to participate more fully in the day-to-day lives of their communities.
The webinar will begin with an introduction by Richard Baron, Director of Knowledge Translation for the Temple University Collaborative. The featured speakers include:
- LaVerne Miller/Policy Research Associates
- Laurie Schultz/Peerstar, LLC
- James Kimmel/Peerstar, LLC
We will then turn to a broader discussion among the participants on the call. August’s webinar invites participation of webinar attendees, asking each of you to share your experiences, comments, or questions concerning individuals with mental health conditions who also have had criminal justice involvement.
