The National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) Office of Technical Assistance is pleased to announce a new technical report entitled "Paving New Ground--Peers Working in In-Patient Settings," which details the development of peer roles in mental health settings. This "lessons learned" guidebook identifies and highlights some of the hospitals in the country that have been most successful. Through the use of stories and narratives, the average day of peer specialists is documented including their special challenges and rewards, and what they most value in their positions. The guidebook is available as a free download at: http://www.nasmhpd.org/consumernetworking.cfm If you would like to order a copy of the accompanying DVD, "Paving New Ground: A Dialogue With Peers and Family Members," please e-mail OTAinfo@nasmhpd.org
