Our peer counseling programs match individuals with trained peer counselors who have lived experience in order to support and help participants meet their Mental Health and recovery goals. Our peer counselors help participants define their overall values and goals, before outlining personalized self-care and mindfulness techniques. It is important for our team to help participants connect with the peer community and decrease isolation. If needed, wellness and recovery action plans (wrap) are developed with our participants, in addition to resource and referral linkage so they can maintain healthy lives.
