Most of the people we serve have Intellectual and Developmental disabilities, like myself. We also actively support the rights of #LGBTQ+ #LGBT #Queer #Trans persons, who are more likely to experience disability. All communities have crossover with the disability community because anyone can become disabled.

We are 75% staffed by #Disabled People, so our organization is #ForUsByUs #PeerSupport

There is magic in the words "Me too."
Finding other people with bipolar disorder reminded me that I’m not broken,
I’m just part of a unique tribe.

Peer counselors at Exhale create a judgment-free space for people to narrate their experiences.
Understanding the psychological complexities is crucial, especially following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v.
Wade.
Emotional support is needed now more than ever.

Demand for single-gender spaces, including bars, gyms and co-working hubs, is rising in China as women gain economic power and prioritise peace of mind and safety. Women-only community spaces in China offer a safe environment where women can freely discuss intimate matters, seek support and escape harassment. Economic independence and educational opportunities are enabling women to focus on their own needs, while social media, especially RedNote, has exposed many to alternative lifestyles and communities.

We are FREE to attend, for ALL abilities. We run as slow as the slowest runner."

My new blog post critiques TalkLife's governance, arguing that its 'peer support' model is a failure. The platform's rigid "rule supremacy" punishes vulnerable users in crisis, uses manipulative moderation tactics like DARVO, and protects abusers, ultimately creating trauma instead of healing.

Beacon founder Holly Howat joins state office of behavioral health
Beacon Community Connections founder Holly Howat has joined the Louisiana Department of Health as its new assistant secretary of behavioral health.
Howat left her role as executive director of Beacon this summer after nearly a decade of leading the social care nonprofit. There, she spearheaded programs that included addressing the social determinants of health and peer support for those struggling with opioid use disorder. She also served as the first executive director of the Lafayette Parish Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee prior to starting Beacon.
During a panel at the South Louisiana Community Health Summit this week, organized by Beacon, Howat said her aim was to drive the expansion of programs such as Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC), and to seek community input on both needs and potential solutions for behavioral health issues.
“We really want to hear from people, because that’s how we’re going to know whether what we’re trying to fix is working or not,” she said.
