- Background
-
Call Bubbie was started in 2023 by a peer support specialist who was not able to get the affirming-community resources for a woman they were working with who experienced altered states. This woman was very inspirational for them and impressed on them to never live from a place of fear. Call Bubbie was born from the altered state this peer experienced there after in order to make sure their client's memory was a blessing.
