IF YOU ARE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER, HAVING THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE OR A SUICIDE PLAN, SELF INJUROUS BEHAVIOUR...PLEASE CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY. YES I AM A PEER PROVIDER, HOWEVER I AM NOT LISCENSED TO HANDLE EMERGENCIES. SO PLEASE, SEEK HELP AND FEEL FREE TO JOIN THE LIST.

This group is Peer to Peer support. I need to explain that all clinicians and peers practice the same set of skills. I am a Peer Provider, and have been using DBT skills as a way of life for the last 12 years. I was part of the original research program and since have become a Member of the NYS Office of Mental Health's Recipient Advisory Committee (RAC). I am also the NY County Co-Chair for the Regional Advisory Committee.For more information on this, feel free to email me at Umpireref13@aol.com. Please check the Files section and read the White Paper for more information. I have also opened my own Peer run not for profit organization called Dreamweavers Peer Support. This organization is based in New York City, NY but I travel all over the state to assist peers in advocacy and in attaining their goals and services. The motto of Dreamweavers Peer Support is "Peers helping peers weave their OWN dreams." I have also a specialty in trauma as I am a trauma survivor. I am also diagnosed with ADHD. So yes, I am a Peer who has made it to the other side of the desk. Thanks, A lot of people call me one of the following...Tiger~Sir~Ump~Les~Stallion...but whatever you call me is fine by me.
