Peer Support
Real connection. Real understanding. Real support. Hope Council’s Certified Peer Specialists bring lived experience — understanding, encouragement, and real-world guidance from people who have been there. Services are available at no cost to anyone seeking support for substance use or mental health concerns, in any stage of readiness.
Why peer support works
What peer support includes
Recovery Coaching
One-on-one support pairing you with a Certified Peer Support Specialist who helps remove barriers and provides resources as you rebuild your life. Beyond a supportive hand and an empathetic ear, recovery coaching follows a formalized approach built around your unique needs, circumstances, and goals.
Case Management
A partnership to assess your circumstances, create a plan of action, and coordinate care to meet your wellness needs — promoting your safety and making sure you receive a high quality of care.
Telephone Recovery Support (TRS)
Weekly phone touchpoints with a member of the Peer Specialist team — checking in on how you’re doing and sharing community resources, recovery pathways, and support for whatever challenges the week brought.
Naloxone Training
Kits, education, and training on how to prevent, recognize, and respond to an opioid overdose — for individuals at risk, family members, friends, loved ones, and professionals.

It wasn’t about fixing me, it was about walking with me. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel judged. I felt supported and understood. Thank you.
