Our Group and Individual Peer Support program links individuals recovering from mental illness and substance abuse to individuals who shared a common reality. The program will be frequent, ongoing, flexible and accessible to include phone calls, text messaging, group meetings and home visits.
Peer supporters use their own unique experiences with recovery from mental illness and substance abuse when helping individuals figure out how to manage the recovery process in their daily lives. Peer supporters will also help in identifying key resources, to reduce environmental and personal barriers to recovery.
Peer supporters will play an integral part of helping individuals to cope with social or emotional barriers and to stay motivated to reach their goals.
Peer supporters will successfully keep individuals engaged by providing proactive, flexible, and continual long-term follow-up.
