What is Certified Peer Coaching?
Certified Peer Coaching is support from someone who has lived experience with substance use or mental health challenges and has gone through formal training and certification. Peer coaches do not provide clinical treatment. They walk alongside people, help set goals, navigate resources, and stay connected to support.
At its core, peer coaching is about trust, relatability, and practical support from someone who has actually been there.
Why it matters
Lived experience builds trust. People are often more open with someone who understands recovery from the inside, not just from a textbook.
It reduces isolation. Peer coaches remind people they are not alone and that recovery is possible.
It supports real world progress. From finding resources and housing to building routines and accountability, peer coaches help with day to day challenges.
It complements treatment, not replaces it. Peer support works alongside clinical care and helps strengthen long term recovery.
It meets people where they are. No judgment. No pressure. Just support, encouragement, and connection.
Certified Peer Coaching turns shared experience into a powerful tool for healing and lasting change.
If you or someone you know needs support, we have certified peer coaches available.
