From the Archives: Peer Recovery

In this archived episode of the Free to Bmore Podcast from 2022, we talk to Tee Scott about peer navigators in the Library. She started helping others as a teenager when she created a special club in her garage, and later became a peer navigator, helping people overcome addiction as a recovery specialist. We take a look at what’s being done to overcome the stigma of addiction and help people move towards a path to recovery.
