Peer Support Services (PSS) offer individuals the opportunity to receive guidance and assistance from someone who has experienced similar challenges.

• Emotional Support: Providing a safe space for participants to express their thoughts and feelings.
• Skill Building: Helping individuals develop coping strategies and life skills to manage daily challenges.
• Mentorship: Offering encouragement and hope through shared experiences and recovery stories.
• Community Integration: Assisting participants in connecting with resources and building a supportive community around them.

Peer Support empowers individuals to take control of their recovery and fosters independence through mutual respect and understanding.
