Ready to see the power of lived experience in action?

Peer support is transforming mental health across California, and it’s about way more than just "services"—it’s about connection.

Read the full story athttps://tinyurl.com/mwdbzcnz.

Here’s why Peer Support is a game-changer:

True Understanding: Peer Support Specialists are individuals with lived experience who have "been there" and can say "I understand" and mean it.

Hope & Recovery: They provide a unique type of compassion and credibility that traditional services often can't, showing others that recovery is possible.

Breaking the Cycle: For many, like Caitlin, peer support was the key to breaking cycles of relapse that traditional therapy alone couldn't fix.

Closing the Gap: Peer support helps people navigate complex systems—like housing and employment—where they might otherwise fall through the cracks.

Cultural Resonance: The peer workforce brings much-needed diversity, offering care that reflects and understands the communities it serves."I've been where you are, and I've recovered... and you can too." — Marshea Pratt, .

Reflecting on a Great Day at the Santa Monica Community (SMC) Campus!

Last week was all about connection at SMC during the "Unity in History" Resource Fair! Julyssa and her team were responsible for sharing their vision and making this event happen.

We had an incredible time celebrating our community and getting folks plugged into the meaningful resources for housing, support groups, and our new program offering FREE Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Training and a PAID internship for those who qualify.

Susan A. Herbert (Suzy), SHARE!'s Director of Clinical and Peer Support Services, explained, "Through these on-campus events, Community Providers are able to connect a diverse student body to the services they need most. Resources available spanned across cultures, lifespans, capacities, and divergences.”

A huge thank you to Julyssa Guevara, LCSW, LISW at SMC for inviting SHARE!, and to everyone who joined us, especially our featured providers who showed up to champion Women’s Health & Wellness and Black Student Health & Advocacy in honor of and .

🌟 SHARE! Spotlight: Meet Gerson Caceres, SD2 Battle Buddy

SHARE! is very proud to see Gerson receive a Certificate of Appreciation from American Legion Palisades Post 283 for Outstanding Contributions to the Palisades Fire Relief Distribution Center.

"In January 2025 — before I began working with SHARE!’s VPAN program — I was in treatment on the West LA VA campus during the fires. Before treatment, I used to drive through the Palisades often — it was one of my favorite places to clear my head, especially the overlook above the Santa Monica Bay. Seeing how much has changed since then was heartbreaking. Homes once glowing at night now sit in darkness.

I wanted to be of service back then, but didn’t know how. Then I met ST."

ST Williams, SHARE!’s VPAN SD2 Squad Leader, was recognized by American Legion Post 283 for his leadership in directing the Distribution Center mission, transforming an ambitious vision into real, organized support for the community.

Gerson didn’t plan to speak, but the energy in the room made it impossible not to stand up and say thank you.

Wiliams, SHARE!'s VPAN SD2 Squad Letter, who received recognition from American Legion Post 283 for directing the Distribution Center mission where he transformed an ambitious vision into real, organized support for the community.

Gerson didn’t plan to speak, but the energy in that room made it impossible not to say thank you.

Big things happen when the community comes together, and Gerson was grateful to witness it and to be part of it. 💛
