AI GeneratedPeerBridge: Lived-Experience Supervisor Networks for Culturally-Adapted Mental Health
Description
Build national networks of peer support specialists from marginalized communities who are trained to both deliver and supervise peer mental health support. PeerBridge uses a "cascading supervisor" model — 1 clinical psychologist supervises 8 peer supervisors, each supervising 12 peer supporters — reaching 96 support relationships per clinical FTE vs 12 in standard models. Cultural co-design is embedded in every role.
