Peer Outreach Workers are trained mental health professionals whose perspectives are enhanced by their lived experience with mental health concerns. Peer staff inspire hope and demonstrate the possibility of recovery.
“Recovery is an ongoing journey that starts with hope, optimism and the fundamental belief that recovery is possible. Every pathway to recovery is unique, marked by achievements and setbacks, that leads to self-determination and an improved quality of life.” – Olivia Chessman (Peer Outreach)
