What is Peer Support?
Peer Support is a non-clinical, strengths-based, recovery-focused approach grounded in shared lived experience. Our role is to walk alongside individuals on their mental health/addiction recovery journey with empathy, mutual respect, and encouragement.
“Peer support is about being human together.” –Shery Mead
