Behavioral Health & Wellness Program
Peer Support Services
Peer Support Specialists are people with “lived experience” who have been trained to help others who struggle with mental health, substance use and/or trauma. Personal experience with these issues provides Peer Support Specialists with practical insights and empathy that may be different from those offered by a professional behavioral health clinician. Peer Support Specialists help people connect with behavioral health recovery services, stay engaged with those services, and minimize the chances of relapse, through shared understanding and mutual accountability. In communities, Peer Support Specialists extend the range of behavioral health supports available during times of stress and hardship, by bringing a meaningful array of services to people directly where they live and work, rather than being limited to an office setting.
JLSFRC has multiple Peer Support Specialists on our staff. Peer support services are part of multiple programs we offer, including:

Being ready to seek help marks a major and critical step toward recovery from addiction. When our fellow community members are ready to get drugs and alcohol out of their system and to tackle their addiction through intensive treatment, reliable community supports need to be there for them.
Recovery Rides will bring these supports at this critical time by providing fail-safe transportation and accompaniment from home to the mainland treatment (and back) for these fellow island residents who are seeking help. Call (360) 317-3119.
