We are passionate about peer support because through peer support, we have the opportunity to role model our own recovery and offer hope and a sense of belonging within the community to those seeking recovery for themselves. Through self-help and mutual support, peer support facilitates personal growth, wellness promotion, and recovery while honoring one’s strengths, needs, and personal choices.
