Listen "Nze Okoronta Interview"
Episode Synopsis
In this conversation you will hear Nze Okoronta speak from years of building peer-run crisis alternatives. The focus stays on peer respites, warmlines, and community responses that move away from policing and coercion. You learn how these models function day to day, not as ideals but as working systems.The discussion names structural harm inside mainstream crisis care and shows what changes when people with lived experience design the response. Nze draws on work at SOAR and Solstice House to explain how peer leadership reshapes safety, consent, and care.You are invited to listen for strategy, asking what it takes to replace emergency control with relational support? What gets lost when policy ignores peer knowledge? What becomes possible when mad and disabled people lead?
