experience peerlife
Step into the role of someone navigating the behavioral health system! What pitfalls will you encounter? How might peer services support you in exploring and navigating your recovery journey?
MHAAO runs a Peerlife workshop at our annual Peerpocalypse conference, but now for the first time ever it is available as a card game, so you can take the experience with you to share with your community! Peerlife was developed by and for peers, but there is something to be gained by everyone!

How it works
Peerlife is designed to emulate the experiences of behavioral health service recipients. Participants are immersed in “the system,” from first diagnosis to encounters with behavioral health professionals, and to pharmaceutical and general life experiences, all while gaining and losing points toward their recovery.
