What Is a Peer Support Specialist?
A Peer Support Specialist is a trained professional who uses their lived experience with recovery to support others facing similar challenges. Unlike traditional clinical roles, peer support is grounded in mutual respect, shared understanding, and empowerment.
As a certified provider, we:
Offer one-on-one peer support sessions
Assist with recovery planning
Provide advocacy and system navigation
Support crisis prevention and wellness planning
Help connect individuals to community resources
We work collaboratively with therapists, case managers, medical providers, and care teams to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care.
Medical & Medicaid Provider
