Peer & Parent Peer Support
Reimagining Support for Our Community
Our Certified Peer Support Specialist offers a compassionate and non-judgmental space to connect with people who share similar lived experiences. This is not a replacement for therapy, but a powerful complement to your wellness journey, focused on mutual empowerment, respect, and understanding.
All peer support services are at no cost to participants and appointments can be conducted over the phone, virtually, or in person.
What is a certified peer specialist?
A Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) offers peer support to people receiving services related to mental health and/or substance use challenges. CPS bring their own valuable expertise and skill-sets and use that to connect with the peers they serve.
A CPS is a person who has their own lived experience of mental health and/or substance use challenges and has completed formal training and certification. They use their unique set of lived experiences and recovery, in combination with comprehensive skills-training, including continuing education, to support people with similar lived experience.
