Peer Support Services

Find Your Path with Someone Who’s Been There

Our Peer Specialists have walked in your shoes. They’ve dealt with mental health issues, substance use, or trauma in their own lives. Now they’re in recovery and ready to help you on your journey.
Peers share what worked for them – practical tips, helpful tools, and local resources. Their real-life experience gives them insight that perfectly complements the care you get from other professionals at SummitStone.
