Peer support occurs when people provide knowledge, experience, emotional, social or practical help to each other.
Peer support promotes a sense of belonging within the community—a key to recovery and well-being—and the development of self-efficacy through role modeling and assisting peers with finding meaning, purpose, and social connections in their lives. Peer-delivered services generate superior outcomes in terms of engaging individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.
Peer-led recovery is a holistic approach to long-term recovery. Support is led by people who have traveled the pathway to recovery and who understand the job and challenges of the journey. Working alongside someone with a shared experience means that support is credible and sustaining. Research proves that peer-led support is the most effective approach to substance use recovery.
