Jennifer Hinkel, Vice President of Development at Telecare, is a strong advocate for peers and played an integral part in expanding our peer workforce by creating a peer job family and career ladder. In the video above, Jennifer discusses the importance of its passage while identifying how peers can get ready now for the certification process. With lived experience in recovery — often including their own journeys with mental illness, substance use, criminal justice involvement, etc. — peer professionals have “been there” and are able connect in a more immediate, powerful way with the people we serve, inspiring hope, dispelling myths about recovery, walking with people on their respective journeys, and supporting them in their goals and dreams.
