BIPOC and LGBTQ Survey

"Peer support can help individuals achieve long-term recovery. Mental health America (MHA) and the Center for Peer Support (CPS) recognize that it is crucial for all peers to be heard and represented, particularly our BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of color) and LGBTQ peers. We also acknowledge that there may not be equal representation and inclusion in peer spaces. We are, therefore, seeking to address the barriers to care and inclusion experienced by our BIPOC and LGBTQ peers and hope to address these effectively.

This survey will help us understand the experiences of BIPOC and LGBTQ peers who engage with peer support services and how this growing field can better serve them. While we use BIPOC and LGBTQ in this survey, we acknowledge that these terms are limiting when describing diverse experiences. We hope that feedback from this survey will help broaden and inform our work at Mental Health America (MHA) and the Center for Peer Support (CPS), and that of our affiliates."
