My name is Tim. Several months ago a friend of mine told me about the Mental Health call back at service of Mental Health Associates of East Tennessee.
They have been an inspirational and sometimes even a life saver to me. Having peer support means learning ways to cope with Schizo-affective Disorder Bi-polar 1 that I suffer with.
My peer support person always makes me laugh even on my worst days.
I thank my higher power for their support. I actually was at the end of my rope but the peer I speak to, although I could not udder a word helped me get it together enough to not only be able to speak, but made me laugh first.
