One thought on “Peer Specialists & Community Mental Health Centers”

  1. I thought I would make a great peer specialist at my local community mental health center until I realized that the system is killing people with neurotoxins. The doctors nearly killed me with antidepressants and antipsychotics and benzos and I have seen many people being disabled a d outright killed by the drugs. So, no, I am not going to waste my skills & energy collecting information on psychiatric guinea pigs for Medicaid and supporting people’s “right” to be poisoned by behavior control chemicals.It’s like being a Jew working in a concentration camp, keeping the inmates in line so they don’t bother the Capos. Maybe I can get them some more peas in their soup, or an extra service from their caseworker.
