Partnering 4 Recovery
Our Peer Recovery Specialists helps those suffering from mental health and/or addiction navigate a personal path to recovery by building on individual strengths and successes. Peer support specialists share the unique “lived experience” of recovering from mental illness and/or addiction issues at some point in their lives.
