What is it?

Peer Support

Peer Support Specialists are people who have experienced mental health challenges and have grown through them, who now help others experiencing similar situations. There are different kinds of Peer Support:

  • Family Peer Support for people who care for a family member with mental health challenges
  • Recovery Peer Support for people who have experienced substance abuse. Through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment
  • Peer Support Specialists help people become and stay engaged in the healing process. Healing and growth happen through connection and shared humanity, and that is the message Peer Support Specialists share.
