Shery Mead, a long-time psychiatric survivor activist from New Hampshire, has been doing some great work in the area of peer support over the past 10 years – she calls it Intentional Peer Support (IPS). When Shery was in Richmond Hill this August for a week of IPS training, we were fortunate to have her video-taped as she helped explain the concept of IPS to us.
