On #GlobalPeerSupportDay and every day, we are proud to honor the incredible work of peer support specialists, whose lived experience brings hope and healing to others. Peer support has deep roots in the self-help movement of the 1970s, when individuals who had survived the abuses of psychiatric hospitals came together to support each other and build meaningful lives in their communities. Today, the peer workforce has grown to more than 30,000 peer supporters (1) working in all 50 states and U.S. territories. Peer support is considered an evidence-based practice by SAMHSA and is Medicaid reimbursable in over 41 states. From the criminal justice system to housing services, peers continue to model recovery and contribute to the lives of others. At New Narrative, our peer specialists play a vital role in our Team-Based Care model, ensuring that recovery is not just about managing symptoms but about building a fulfilling life in the community. Let’s celebrate the strength of lived experience and the value of community! #PeerSupportDay #PeerSupportWorks #MentalHealthRecovery #NewNarrativePDX #LivedExperience #TeamBasedCare #MentalHealthMatters (1) https://lnkd.in/g6a-nPNj

Affordable housing is essential to ending homelessness, and Regional Long-Term Rent Assistance (RLRA) vouchers funded through Metro's supportive housing services measure are proving to be a powerful tool. According to a recent article by Portland Mercury, these vouchers are helping people rebuild their lives by providing stable housing and the support they need to thrive: https://lnkd.in/gaGSFPKc. “We tell clients to dream big,” says Regina Waller-Darden, a housing navigator with New Narrative. “We work with a population that has been houseless and they tend to limit themselves and need reminders.” At New Narrative, we know that housing security is key to well-being. We also know that working with participants to learn about their specific housing needs and goals means a better chance of housing retention. That’s why we’re committed to supporting rental assistance and working with partners like Home Forward and the Housing Development Center to expand access to wraparound services for our most vulnerable neighbors. Together, we can help break the cycle of homelessness and give people the opportunity to build a brighter future. #AffordableHousing #EndHomelessness #MentalHealthMatters #NewNarrativePDX #PortlandMercury #CommunitySupport #HousingFirst

🌍World Mental Health Day 2024: Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace🌍 This year’s theme, “It’s time to prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace,” highlights the critical role our work environments play in shaping our mental well-being. At New Narrative, we see firsthand how workplace stress, burnout, and mental health challenges impact employees—and we’re here to help our community navigate these pressures. The stats are clear: 💼 1 in 5 adults experiences a mental health condition each year, with many of these challenges stemming from or worsened by workplace conditions. 🧠 76% of U.S. employees have reported at least one symptom of a mental health condition in the past year. ⏳ Burnout costs businesses up to $190 billion annually in lost productivity and healthcare expenses. At New Narrative, we embrace change and innovation to meet the evolving mental health needs of our community, including in the workplace. By offering robust benefit options, professional development training opportunities, and listening to feedback in order to improve staff experiences, we’re ensuring that more mental health workers have access to the care they deserve.
