Peer Support Services (PSS)

Peer Support Services (PSS) are recovery support services in which a Certified Peer Support Specialist utilizes his/her training, lived experience, and experiential knowledge to mentor, guide, and coach the client as he/she works to achieve self-identified recovery and resiliency goals. These services are designed to promote empowerment, foster self-determination and choice, and inspire hope as the client progresses through the recovery process. Peer support services are typically delivered to a person with a serious mental illness or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder who is actively involved in their own recovery process. This specialized support is intended to complement an array of therapeutic services and may be offered before, during, or after mental health treatment has begun to facilitate long-term recovery in the community.
