Nanette will engage the audience in a lively discussion around challenges and opportunities related to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the peer support workforce. From a position of humility, she will share a bit of her own journey of growth from color-blindness to color-consciousness. Additionally, participants will learn about the work of NASMHPD’s Division of Recovery Support Services’ Racial Equity Subcommittee, for which Nanette served as Chair from Aug. 2020-Dec. 2023. Nanette Larson is a nationally recognized leader in mental health recovery who has spent the last twenty five years providing leadership in Illinois’ public mental health system and developing recovery-oriented, trauma-informed systems of care. She is an Emotional CPR practitioner, an advanced-level facilitator for Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP), and a certified Recovery Support Specialist.
