Peer to Peer Support
These services are provided through staff that have lived experience with substance use and mental health disorders. Services involve connecting clients to additional recovery services and providing them with emotional support, guidance, and resources.
The REC staff are trained to work with individuals involved in the criminal justice system and are also certified brain injury specialists and certified harm reduction specialists.
We are a grassroots effort focused on creating a socially just community for all members impacted by addiction and mental health concerns.
The individual will establish their own goals and the Peer will work alongside them to assist in accessing services and community supports such as:
· Housing, Transportation, and Basic Needs
· Mental and Physical Healthcare
· Employment and Finances
· Education and Advocacy
· Spirituality and Cultural Engagement
· Social Support and Recovery Community
