Peer Support

Lived experience can create a different kind of connection

Peer Support is a recovery-focused behavioral health service provided by trained Certified Peer Support Specialists who bring lived experience with mental health or substance use recovery to their work. Peer Support is not therapy. It is practical, person-centered support that helps individuals identify goals, strengthen recovery skills, navigate resources, build confidence, and become more active in their own recovery.
