Biography

My name is Taamer and I am a Licensed Peer Support Specialist. I started this journey by attending peer support groups through Project Return Peer Support Network (PRPSN) when I was struggling with a number of simultaneous crisis, including becoming the “only” parent to my 13 year old daughter, who lost her mother to cancer during that time period. I went into survival mode and I was unable to function in a healthy manner and ruined a relationship with someone I deeply loved. I couldn’t find any resources as much as I looked for help. Therapists weren’t taking new patients or they wouldn’t take my insurance…Then by chance, I came across PRPSN and their free support groups. I attended many of them which would eventually lead to me applying for and completing their training and internship program to become a trained (and now a licensed) Peer Support Specialist. I created 2 (free) groups that I currently facilitate/ host “Dealing with Anger” on Mondays at 9am PST and “Dealing with Relationship Challenges” on Wednesdays at 9am PST. They are both listed on the heypeers platform. From the home page, under the meetings tab, type in the name of the group(s) above in the search bar and you will see the groups pop up, where you can click on “register” to attend.
