The Peer Movement

The Peer Movement is a voluntary effort where individuals with lived experience of mental health challenges or addiction support their peers through shared understanding and empathy. It emphasizes peer-led approaches to recovery, education, and community building, recognizing that people with similar experiences can offer unique support and validation. This movement aims to reduce stigma, foster empowerment, and promote holistic well-being by leveraging the strength of peer connections. It’s rooted in the idea that recovery is a personal journey best supported by those who truly understand the challenges firsthand.
