Has Peer Support changed since Trump became president? I abandoned my dream of doing this job once he took over, but I wonder now, is it really noticeably worse? Have you noticed? Is it still WORTH IT? 😭
Edit: Didn't mean to repeat myself in the title 🫠
As the title says, is peer support still worth pursuing under this administration? I know their goal is to gut every program they can, and I would imagine mental health is at the bottom rung for them.
I know they've already made some major adjustments, but I only researched it probably a year or more ago.
I completely abandoned my dream of going into this job when he got elected, because I suspected that it would only get worse, less funded, less accessible, etc.
What's your experience been? Have you noticed any new obstacles?
I live in Maryland if it makes any difference.
Thanks!
