The Peer Chat podcast brings you insights and inspiration from people using their lived experience to support others and develop peer approaches.
In conversation with Scottish Recovery Network’s Lesley Smith, our first ever guest on the series is Rai Waddingham and the theme is peer support groups.
Rai is an independent trainer – Behind the Label, a writer and an Open Dialogue Practitioner. She hears voices, sees visions and has a whole range of experiences many label as ‘unusual’. At times these have overwhelmed her, leading to a range of diagnoses she no longer identifies with. Rai managed the London Hearing Voices Project for many years. She has worked with people who hear voices or have unusual beliefs across youth, adult and prison settings. Rai is now Chair of the English Hearing Voices Network. She is studying for a PhD in Survivor Knowledge.
In this episode Rai shares her experiences of participating in and facilitating peer support groups.
