Recovery Is – Peer Support with DBHDS
On today’s show, Melvina and Carol host Alethea Lambert and Mary McQuown from Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to talk about peer recovery support and specialists.
“A peer support specialist is a person with “lived experience” who has been trained to support those who struggle with mental health, psychological trauma, or substance use. Their personal experience of these challenges provide peer support specialists with expertise that professional training cannot replicate.”
Following the show is a Peer 2 Ear with DJ Sammy Styles.

The Johnny Ciggs Episode
.
Click here to replay this episode of Secret Bonus Level!
Johnathan Cigarettes. No one has ever called him that, as far as I know. No one except me, right now. I’m Noah Page. He is Johnny Ciggs. That’s what people actually call him. Him, not me. I’m Noah Page. Anyway, I’m probably just being confusing. So today: Johnny Ciggs is kind enough to join Noah Page on my show, The Noah Page Show (which is not what it’s called) for a very special interview.
We’ll talk about Gritty City for the Kids, an upcoming holiday special by his renowned rap crew, about Gritty City’s impressive line-up of merch, and, in a brief but real moment, I’ll thank him for helping inspire me to quit being so gd drunk all the time. He did it first!
This is a rap show.

Is there a doctor in the house? I mean, not in the house literally? But on the literal radio that’s in the metaphorical house? Maybe on a metaphorical table next to a literal glass of lemonade? Let me metaphorically paint you a literal picture. Actually, nevermind.
Because the answer, of course, is yes! PhD Khari joins us today for a special interview. Khari is a deft rapper who also boasts some serious studio prowess, having worked as a sound engineer for years. And today we’ll talk all about that AND his new song Lasso!
This is a rap show!
