Yes, I get the frustration of not being understood by the rigid industry of titles.
What has happened to peer support?! The mental health systems have co-opted them into their paternalistic 'expert - patient' medical model. As we've professionalized our services, unfortunately we have been "definded" in HR terms, according to the agency or authorities needs, rather than the needs of the consumer. Their own ignorance may not expect any assertive acts that may challenge their assumptions about us. This can lead to inner conflict in those who suddenly have to face their discriminatory attitudes, and unacknowledged resentment of what true equality in the workforce looks like. Peer workers, unfortunately, are often willing to be co-opted into the mainstream "professionalism" of the mental health system, because that allows them to be accepted, and to have a support system. Its hard to be the unwelcome advocate. They leave you "outstanding in your field". By yourself.
Peer support is a good idea, but after ten minutes I have no idea what this woman ever did to help a patient.
All the intangibles that make us human-I bet you're a clinician
and because some people, as you, can't see it, is why we need peer workers.
