A peer is a companion in your recovery journey who has been through some of the challenges you may be facing and come out on the other side. They are there to help you discover what recovery means to you, what it looks like to you, and to help you move toward those goals. A peer has both training and lived experience, and can coach you through the process of finding recovery resources to meet your specific needs. A peer is a coach, a mentor, an advocate, and an ally.
