🌱 What’s happening in the recovery & peer support world right now?🌱

The recovery landscape is shifting and peer support is at the center of it.

Across the country, peer recovery support is being recognized as an essential part of behavioral health care, not just as an “add-on” like it has been. More states and systems are integrating peers into clinical teams, expanding billing options, and investing in long-term recovery supports rather than short-term fixes.

We’re also seeing growth in outpatient and community-based recovery, alumni networks, RCO’s (recovery community organizations), and interest-based recovery spaces. Recovery today is finally starting to look less like a one-size-fits-all model and more like meeting people where they are at.

At the same time, there’s an important conversation happening about sustainability such as funding, workforce burnout, training standards, and making sure peer roles stay rooted in lived experience while being supported, respected, and paid fairly.

Another major shift: Recovery pathways are expanding. Harm reduction, mental health recovery, youth and collegiate recovery, and culturally responsive peer support are getting attention (long over due). People are moving past the go-to question “Are you sober?” but are now asking “Are you supported? Are you connected? Are you safe?” and this is such an important piece of someone’s journey!

Key takeaway:
💙 Recovery is evolving.
🤝 Peer support is growing.
📢 And lived experience continues to be powerful, necessary, and valid.

🌟 Day 2 at the New Hampshire Behavioral Health Summit! 🌟
We’re back for another incredible day of learning, connection, and collaboration. It’s been nothing short of inspiring.

One highlight for us today was stopping by the Human Services Research Institute booth HSRI. We were especially drawn to this article they shared called “Framework for an Ideal Behavioral Health System”🙌🏾
It breaks down what a truly supportive, equitable, person-centered system can look like and it aligns so much with the work we’re passionate about.

Huge gratitude to HSRI for sharing such thoughtful, forward-thinking resources with the community. 📘✨

Here’s to continuing the momentum, building stronger systems, and showing up for the people we serve. 💙
