| Description: |
The
Peer
Support Services
aids consumers in becoming more independent,
locating resources needed to be independent, and achieving recovery.
Peer Support does not provide treatment, but rather a
mentorship.
Peer Support services are provided by Certified Peer
Specialists who are current or past mental health consumers that have
been trained to use their past experiences to help others achieve
recovery.
Services are provided to
fit each
individual's needs and are provided in the location that is
required to achieve their goal. For example, if getting out
into
the community is the goal set by the consumer, then the Certified Peer
Specialist would spend time with them in the community. The
consumer's needs determine the amount of time spent
together each week. This could be
once or several
times per week. Involvement in the program is voluntary;
consumers decide if they want Peer Support services and have the right
to stop the services at any time.
