This service is available for family members who have been directly impacted by a loved one’s mental health challenge, illness and/or substance use. Peer support is created through a trusting, equal and empowering recovery-oriented relationship between two individuals who share a similar experience. You will be connected with a trained Peer Supporter who can relate from a human to human perspective as can be related from a place of lived experience.
