- The Role of a Certified Peer Specialist
Carolyn explains that a Certified Peer Specialist uses lived experience with mental illness to support others. Her work includes helping people gain employment, navigate mental health challenges, and develop coping skills through mentorship and guidance. - Turning Trauma into Purpose
After experiencing childhood trauma and a severe depressive episode in her 40s, Carolyn underwent intensive therapy, including EMDR, which helped her recover. She now channels her experience into writing, speaking, leading support groups, and mentoring others in the mental health field. - Holistic and Faith-Based Mental Health Approach
Carolyn emphasizes that true wellness includes emotional, spiritual, mental, physical, and relational health. Inspired by Mark 12’s call to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength, she integrates faith and holistic care while working in both secular and Christian mental health settings.
