Peer supporters are more than mentors—they’re integral to a whole-person care model. Their certification ensures they are not only effective, but also trained in boundaries, ethics, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed practices, and cultural competency. Their presence strengthens our clinical teams and makes our services more responsive, inclusive, and compassionate.
We view peer supporters as change agents, capable of transforming the treatment environment and influencing policy, programming, and client outcomes. By investing in certified peer support, we invest in recovery-driven systems of care that meet people where they are and walk beside them toward sustained wellness.
Patients can be more likely to open up when they are able to connect with someone who has walked a similar path. Peer supporters create safe spaces for clients to share struggles and victories.
Peer supporters can be tangible proof that long-term recovery is possible, motivating patients through challenges.
Certified peer supporters help patients navigate real-world challenges while reinforcing recovery principles and linking patients to local support networks for housing, employment and more.
If someone is in crisis and hesitant about entering treatment, peer supporters are there to help ease the transition into care.
