PEER Counsel & Support

Peer counseling utilizes individuals with lived experience to provide support, fostering connection and trust through shared understanding. Conducted in individual or group settings, it offers personalized support and community, respectively. Supervised by licensed therapists, peer counselors ensure ethical and informed guidance. They act as advocates, assisting with resource access (housing, healthcare, employment, legal) and navigating complex systems. By empowering through training and personal experience, they build coping skills and resilience. This approach improves resource access, reduces isolation and stigma, and ultimately enhances overall well-being by complementing traditional therapeutic methods.
