Bridging the Gap: How Peer Navigation is Revolutionizing Behavioral Health Support
​Asheville, NC - In an era where mental health concerns are on the rise and professional resources can be difficult to access, a unique initiative is making waves in the field of mental health support. The project is called the 'Mental Health GPS'. Two members of the nonprofit, INclude - The Mental Health Initiative, were invited to share their insights and experiences on an Asheville radio show, shedding light on the transformative power of peer navigation. As part of their ongoing efforts to help individuals find solace and navigate the right services during moments of need, Judith Klein and Ben Carey are redefining the traditional approach to mental health support.
The podcast series, Solutions for the Underafilliated, recognized the significance of this groundbreaking approach and extended an invitation to Judith Klein and Ben Carey to discuss the power of peer navigation. This invitation serves as a testament to the growing recognition and importance of their work in supporting individuals experiencing behavioral health challenges.

Judith Klein and Ben Carey, both trained navigators have been at the forefront of this innovative initiative. Their dedication and commitment to assisting those in distress has garnered attention and accolades from various quarters. This radio show appearance provides an platform for them to shed light on the transformative potential of peer navigation.

Peer navigation, a practice rooted in empathy, understanding, and shared experiences, has emerged as a powerful tool in tackling mental health concerns. Unlike traditional therapy sessions, which often involve professional counseling, peer navigation offers a unique connection between individuals who have faced similar challenges and navigated similar paths, providing a sense of camaraderie and relatability.
​
During the radio show, Judith Klein and Ben Carey highlighted the importance of peer navigation as a way to navigate through the complex behavioral health landscape. Their expertise and personal journeys serve as a testament to the transformative power of peer support in navigating through challenging moments.

As mental health continues to be an essential aspect of overall well-being, initiatives like peer navigation play a crucial role in providing accessible and relatable support to those in need. Through their radio show appearance, Judith Klein and Ben Carey are paving the way for a new era of behavioral health support, one that embraces the strength of shared experiences and the guidance of individuals who have navigated similar paths.
