Can you clarify?
@sucreblue it is lovely to read you, welcome to the community, and to OPENandChange bid - I saw you are formally onboard.
From the description of the service being peer-led I understand that the people doing the screenings, the caregivers are trained citizens? Or do they have medical background? I’m asking because the first makes for a model we keep seeing and others are advocating for similar ones - where building alternatives to systems means training ourselves into becoming carers. Because the systems are understaffed or too rigid to provide low cost access to treatments with low overhead.
You should definitely go in and meet the people at @concrn training community dispatchers for the homeless, or at @MAZI fighiting depression together. Or closer to home - how building cheap eco-coolers from plastic bottles helps people cope with heat. They are all community led solutions.
