Today, the Thriving Mind Peer Department proudly took part in the ROSC Talk: Community Panel – ROSC in Practice, hosted by Jackson Behavioral Health, a valued provider in our behavioral health network. The event featured inspiring leadership from Giselle Varela Rodero, LMHC, NCC, Behavioral Health Grants Program Administrator, and Indiana Lanzas, MPH, Grant Management Specialist.

More than 30 community stakeholders engaged in thoughtful dialogue around the implementation of Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC), sharing diverse perspectives on its benefits, challenges, and real-world application. The discussion was lively and collaborative, reinforcing the importance of peer voices and cross-sector partnerships in strengthening recovery-focused initiatives. It was a meaningful opportunity to connect, learn, and explore new ideas, further deepening our shared commitment to advancing person-centered, recovery-oriented care.

July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. I

July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.

In 2008, inspired by Bebe Moore Campbell’s charge to end stigma and provide mental health support for communities, the U.S. House of Representatives designated July as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. While there have been recent attempts to change the month’s name, NAMI continues to recognize the importance of honoring Campbell’s incredible legacy and her groundbreaking work in helping shift the mental health culture in underserved communities.

Campbell understood that mental health isn’t just about individual healing — it’s about community transformation. She knew that when those who have been unseen and unheard share their truths, they create ripples of hope that reach far beyond themselves. Her vision was radical yet simple: creating spaces where cultural wisdom meets modern understanding, where lived experiences become guideposts for others walking similar paths.

Peer support workers are people who have been successful in the recovery process who help others experiencing similar situations. Through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment, peer support workers help people become and stay engaged in the recovery process and reduce the likelihood of relapse. Peer support services can effectively extend the reach of treatment beyond the clinical setting into the everyday environment of those seeking a successful, sustained recovery process.
