The Benefits of Peer Recovery Support
The key to overcoming addiction is engaging in healthy, supportive relationships that are more rewarding and powerful than substances and addictive behaviors. Research has shown that among the most effective ways to initiate and maintain stable recovery is through the utilization of peer recovery support services that encourage pathways to wellness. Peer support services include mentoring by others with lived experience, helping people to develop their own goals, providing information that supports a person navigate the challenges of sobriety, encouragement to attend self-help programs, working with them to create strategies for self-empowerment, and assisting people in taking concrete steps towards building fulfilling, self- determined lives for themselves. This webinar will address how to access peer support services; how make the most of this critical opportunity that is available to those looking to step into recovery; and the benefits of connecting with peer specialists through the Peer-to-Peer Warmline.
