Peer Services
Peer workers are an essential component of our staffing structure. Peer workers can be found in most all care coordination programs. Peer Bridger and Peer Case Management are provided by individuals who are in recovery from mental illness. Peer staff promote wellness and supply hope and encouragement to those negotiating their recovery. Peer staff engage clients on a personal level as they share their own experiences. Peer workers assist individuals in becoming involved with self-help and recovery programs that help prevent hospitalizations.
