I'm considering becoming a peer support specialist. I'm just hesitant. I doubt myself. Can I be a leader and guide to someone? Can I handle leading a group session?

[@ashtonlange4616]

Yes.

That's cool most peer support specialists are horrible at it. They are anti Community

If you can be honest about your own experience and be curious about others' then you are well on your way. I have the same doubt but I have made my mind up that I want to work in this field.
