Intentional Peer Support (IPS) - IPS is trauma-informed, and is focused on developing healthy relationships. IPS evolved as a response to needing mental health options which were not focused on diagnoses and 'what's wrong' (with an emphasis on building relationships and skills to enable people to work through 'crisis' without resorting to hospitals or other institutional options). Developed by Shery Mead.
