Meet our Presenters
Bridgett Williamson is currently the Co-Director of the Citizens Project in New Haven, CT, for Yale’s Program for Recovery and Community Health (PRCH). She has worked in the field of Peer Support Services for approximately 11 years. Her work began as a peer mentor for Columbus House, Inc. in New Haven, CT. She has been with PRCH since 2007, starting first as a casual employee to becoming a Research Assistant in 2013. Her contribution to the work of citizens-oriented care, community organizing, and peer support has influenced the field nationally and internationally. Bridgett has presented in Montreal and Glasgow. According to Bridgett, “I love my work, I can be myself. I don’t have to pretend. When I’m working with my peers, I meet them where they’re at. I know that I’m not always going to connect with people right away, but in time, once they see that I’m not going anywhere, the walls come down.”
