Peer Recovery Services
The Behavioral Health Division provides peer-led, recovery-focused support for individuals facing mental health and substance use challenges. We also assist youth and adults involved in the criminal-legal system. Our peer recovery specialists use their own experiences to connect with clients, offering understanding, encouragement, and a judgment-free space.
