The First Support Groups
Alcoholics
Anonymous
The 12-Step program of substance
recovery founded in the early ‘30s
provided a demonstration of the
power of self-help and support from a
“peer” although the “peer” was called a
“sponsor.” There is evidence Native
Americans were doing something of
the same as early as 1772.
A Mind That Found Itself
Clifford Beers
Galvanized the mental hygiene
reform movement and founded the
organization that would later become
Mental Health America, which led to
systematic reforms and continuous
advocacy presence

I Am Not

Judi Chamberlin
“On Our Own”
National Council on
Disabilities Report
“Patient privileges, such as
the ability to wear their
own clothes, leave the
confines of psychiatric
facility, or receive visitors,
should instead be
regarded as basic rights”
Primary Era: 2000 - present
First Clubhouse Model
John Beard (Fountain House) in
New York revolutionized the
old “day treatment” programs
to a new approach where
those served were “members”
and not “patients,” and given
meaningful roles in the
clubhouse and community.
Center for Psychiatric Rehab
William Anthony &
Boston University
“There is a revolution brewing in the
field of severe mental illness… It is a
revolution in vision – in what is
believed to be possible… It will be up
to consumers and family members to
lead this [recovery].”
In 1973, 13 leaders formed Psychiatric
Rehabilitation Association (PRA)
WRAP
Mary Ellen
Copeland
First structured tool for self-help
for individuals with mental
health challenges.
The key concepts of WRAP
(hope, personal responsibility,
education, self-advocacy, and
support) laid the foundation for
self-help recovery.
On June 22, 1999, the US
Supreme Court held that
unjustified segregation of
persons with disabilities
constitutes discrimination in
violation of the Americans
with Disabilities Act and stated
that people with psychiatric
disabilities are legally entitled
to live in communities of their
choosing
Lois Curtis

Peer Support as Science
Surgeon General’s Report on
Mental Health
Introduced “self-help groups” and
peer supports as an emerging
evidence based practice and
chronicled the history of the
recovery movement
Medicaid-billable Service
Wendy Tiegreen &
Larry Fricks
Georgia was the first state to have
peer supports approved by CMS
(Arizona followed the next year) and
laid the ground work for a national
sea change with more than 20 states
following suit. Recovery Innovations
began using the phrase “Peer
Support Specialist” in 1999.
CMS Guidelines

WELL & WHAM
In 2001, Recovery Innovations married peer
support with education by creating WELL
(Wellness and Empowerment in Life and Living)
as a new self-help approach to the former case
management approach of compliance and
monitoring of “activities of daily living.”
In 2012, the Center for Integrated Health
Solutions (SAMHSA/HRSA) created WHAM
(Whole Health Action Management)
 2-day, in person peer support training
 Set whole health and resiliency goals
 10 Health and Resiliency Factors
