Peer Support Services

From someone who has been there: help, hope, support.

What is Peer Support?

Peer Support Services are an important part of the recovery journey. In these programs, people who have made major progress in their own recovery from mental illness and/or addiction, receive formal training so they can help others in their recovery journeys. They are called Certified Peer Support Specialists.

Our Peer Support Specialists encourage and support others like them who are on the path to recovery. Since they have lived experience with recovery, they have a unique and honest point of view. They offer practical support, show what recovery can look like, and teach skills to help people who are experiencing mental health challenges to lead meaningful lives in the community.

They can help you acquire and develop life skills that focus on effective stress and anxiety tolerance, emotion management, communication, and strategies to unlock your potential to maximize your well-being.

VIRTUAL PEER SUPPORT:

We have many virtual peer support groups focused on varying topics. These groups are offered at different times throughout the day Monday – Friday.

SMART RECOVERY GROUPS

We also offer SMART Recovery, an evidence-based program to help people abstain from all types of addictions. Based on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), SMART Recovery is a non-spiritual program full of practical tools to help build motivation to stay sober, cope with urges, regulate emotions, and live a balanced life.
