The Peer Support Program is designed to inspire hope of recovery for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness and to allow them to achieve personal wellness and to cope with stress or barriers through an employment and strengths-based recovery support model.

As the title suggests, the Peer Support Program is consumer driven. By inspiring that hope is not only possible but probable, this service is designed to promote empowerment, self determination, and resilience through mentoring and service coordination supports.

Peer Specialists teach and support skill development, promote knowledge of available services and choices, and provide linkage to resources within the community to facilitate a sense of wellness and self worth.
