Community Based Individual Peer Support/ Respite:  

 

A peer worker is a person who has overcome challenges in their life, and shares the

 

same or similar life experience as those we serve. Hope , inspiration and

 

encouragement for what is possible for another person comes from seeing success.

 

Peer support makes a difference. When a person has the same or similar life

 

experiences that we do, we seem to be able to understand each other quickly.

 

Working through life’s challenges with someone who has overcome the same

 

challenges we are currently experiencing helps us to see that it may be possible for

 

us to succeed also. Peer support allows us to have committed support for our

 

journey. Peer support is not clinical. It is not case management. A peer supporter

 

helps people know they can live the life they desire and:

 

     Exercise Choice;

 

               Make Meaningful Decisions,

 

                              Participate Fully in their Communities and

 

                                             Actively Living their Lives.
