Peer Support Services

Support from someone who has been there — and made it through.

Program overview

What this program is — and who it's for

Peer Support pairs individuals in recovery with Certified Peer Recovery Specialists who have lived experience of mental illness, substance use, or both. It is the part of care that says, plainly: this is survivable, and here is someone who survived it.

Peers meet clients in the community — at home, at a coffee shop, at a meeting — and walk alongside them through the ordinary and difficult parts of recovery: getting to appointments, navigating benefits, rebuilding routine, staying connected on the hard days.

Peer support is not clinical treatment and never replaces it. It complements therapy and medication with something clinical care can't manufacture: credible hope.

Who this program serves

  • Anyone in or entering recovery from mental illness or substance use
  • Clients who feel isolated or disconnected from support
  • Individuals transitioning out of hospitalization or incarceration
  • People who respond better to lived experience than to clinical authority
