Wait...What's a Peer Support? I've never heard of a Peer Recovery Coach.
Peer Supports are people who know what it's like to have a mental illness. They use their own life experiences to help others who are in different stages of recovery.
Peer Recovery Coaches are people who have lived with a substance use disorder. They use their life experience to help people who have problems with drug or alcohol addiction.
Sometimes people are trained as both a Peer Support and a Peer Recovery Coach.
Our Peer Supports and Peer Recovery Coaches want you to know that you aren't alone. They can help you find resources along with support. Our Peers really have '"walked a mile in your shoes" and they are willing to help you reach your dreams. Stop in and talk with our Peers and Recovery Coaches about how they can help!
