Peer Support Services
Don’t Struggle in Isolation
Peer Specialists have been trained to support those who struggle with things they’ve personally experienced, including substance use, mental illness, and trauma. These individuals share tools, skills, and resources that have helped them transform their lives out of similar situations. Their personal experiences with these challenges provide them with expertise that professional training cannot replicate.
Our Peers participate in over a dozen of our programs focused on things ranging from substance abuse to suicidal ideation to resource and system navigation and beyond. Peer Support means you’re walking alongside someone who has grown beyond challenges similar to your own.
