Peer support is the process of giving encouragement or assistance to overcome a challenge in life by someone with lived experience. Peer workers can be people who experience the challenges themselves, or family members with loved ones who experienced such challenges and use their lived experience to guide others through the process of change.

February was full of celebration as we recognized both Mardi Gras and Black History Month! Our clients in IDD services wrapped up the month with a festive parade and party last week, bringing lots of color, music, and smiles to the occasion.

Throughout February, our staff and clients also had the honor of presenting several awards and heartfelt thank-yous to members of our community who have been incredible friends and supporters of our mission. We are truly grateful for the kindness, encouragement, and continued support shown to our clients as it makes a meaningful difference in their lives every single day. ❤️
