Peer Media: The Movement Behind the Mission
We exist to elevate the voices of lived experience and build a future where mental health empowerment is led—not just spoken about—by the very people who’ve lived through it.
Peer Media is the revolutionary peer-led media company behind Mental Health Times.
It is more than a platform.
It’s a parent company, a visionary incubator, and a launchpad for the first wave of truly peer-run digital movements.
What We Do
Our flagship publication delivering bold, progressive, peer-driven journalism at the intersection of mental health, society, and innovation.
Breaking Barriers Podcast
A weekly podcast and column featuring raw, unfiltered stories from those who’ve experienced stigma, discrimination, and marginalization—and are turning their experiences into activism.
Peer Leadership & Empowerment Programs
From internships to storytelling workshops, we cultivate talent and create paid opportunities for peers to grow as digital creators, journalists, marketers, and change agents.
Entrepreneurial & Media Innovation
We incubate peer-led media experiments—from viral video campaigns to scalable social enterprises—redefining what sustainability looks like in mental health spaces.
Our Core Principles
1. Genuine Peer Leadership
No tokenism. No hierarchy. Just real peers building and leading together.
2. Technology & Media at the Core
We don’t just tell stories—we broadcast them, algorithmically, virally, and boldly.
3. Entrepreneurial Opportunity
Every project creates a chance for paid peer participation, skill-building, and visibility.
4. Scalable Sustainability
We build systems that last—beyond grants, beyond nonprofits, and beyond charity.
