Peer Recovery Support Models

Peer Recovery Support Models involve individuals who have experienced recovery from substance use or mental health challenges providing support to others on their recovery journey. These peers, often with personal experience, offer understanding, encouragement, and practical guidance to those currently facing similar issues. They serve as relatable role models, helping to reduce feelings of isolation and stigma, and promoting hope and motivation. This approach complements clinical treatment by fostering a supportive community, empowering individuals to achieve sustained recovery through shared understanding and connection.
