I agree that credentialing a "peer" seems a bit silly, but I do wonder if there is some worth in actually developing (or finding) a way to measure "ability to form relationships".
This is sorta close, but somewhat specific to romantic relationships.
Maybe its more like "capacity to form relationship with people who have experienced X". And it would have questions that would assess whether someone really "understood" the "lessons" that come from those experiences. That might be a way to match peers (or even therapists) to patients.
Hi Jessica,

Thanks for the food for thought!
