What is peer support?

Peer support encompasses a range of activities and interactions between people who have shared similar experiences of living with a particular issue. This mutuality— often called “peerness”—between a peer worker and person using services promotes connection and inspires hope. By sharing their own lived experience and practical guidance, peer workers help people to develop their own goals, create strategies for self-empowerment, and take concrete steps towards building fulfilling, self-determined lives for themselves. The Peer Support Professionals at Telehealth Recovery Network utilize lived experience with behavioral health issues to connect and support service users.

Is peer support effective?

Yes! Research on the effectiveness of peer support continues to emerge. The research to date finds that peer support has many benefits to people living with a variety of behavioral health conditions. Some examples include: Increased social functioning, empowerment and hope, decreased self-stigma, Increased quality of life and life satisfaction, decreased criminal justice involvement, reduced relapse rates, reduced substance use, and greater housing stability.

What will my first session with a Peer Support Professional be like?

Telehealth Recovery Network sessions with a Peer Support Professional are easy to access, safe and secure. Sessions can be video, or text based, depending on your comfort level. You can also initiate a video session and tun off the camera until you feel comfortable enough to turn it on. The Peer Support Professional will ask questions to get to know you, talk to you about wellness, and help you assess your own wellness and begin setting a wellness goal. The peer support professional will meet you where you are at and provide support based on your needs and preferences.

What will ongoing sessions with a Peer Support Professional look like?

Subsequent sessions with a Peer Support Professional will be tailored to meet your needs. In general, once you have established a helping relationship with a Peer Support Professional, you can expect that they will check in with you on your goals and ongoing issues, as well as follow up on any discussions from prior sessions. Beyond those basics, all peer support sessions are up to you.

What kind of topics can a peer talk about?

Peer Support Professionals are equipped to talk about all aspects of life. A Peer Support Professional’s role is to support, listen, and coach. These roles remain regardless of what type of issue you are having. Peer Support Professionals do not provide clinical services, give advice, or tell you what to do. They act as a guide as you navigate the complexities of life and/or recovery.

How long until I see improvement after talking to a Peer Support Professional?

That depends. Treatment/support is individual, some individuals see immediate results and some over a period of time and depends on the work you put in. Many people find that they feel a bit better from the first time they talk to someone who has “been there”

Can I switch between Peer Support Professionals?

Yes. Many of the benefits of Peer Support come from the strength and connection of the relationship between the Peer Support Professional and the member. Developing a strong connection and trusting rapport is necessary. If a member feels that the Peer Support Professional is not a good fit for their particular issue, or even personality, the member can utilize a different Peer Support Professional.

What is the difference between peer support and therapy?

Peer Support and therapy are both ‘helping’ services, but that help is provided in many ways.

Peer support focuses on the practical matters of daily life and is focused on recovery. Peer support is provided by people who have their own experiences of living with behavioral health conditions. Peer support may include encouragement, practical assistance, and goal setting. Peer Support Professionals use their lived experience to provide empathy, understanding, and role modeling to the people they support. Peer Support Professionals believe that each person is the expert on their own recovery. Peer Support Professionals are not seen as experts, nor do they provide treatment for behavioral health conditions. Rather, Peer Support Professionals walk alongside others in recovery and demonstrate that recovery is possible through sharing their real-life examples.

Therapy is defined as the treatment of mental or psychological disorders by psychological means. Therapists are highly educated individuals who use their clinical knowledge and formal education to help individuals develop better cognitive and emotional skills, reduce symptoms of behavioral health disorders, and cope with various life changes. While therapists typically partner with clients and provide a non-judgmental space for exploring issues, due their education and expertise, there is a natural hierarchy that exists in the therapist-client relationship.

Can I participate in peer support and therapy at the same time?

Yes. Many people find that participating in both services is extremely helpful. Working with a therapist can provide needed therapeutic intervention and exploration of deep issues. Working with a Peer Support Professional can help you navigate daily life and the ups of downs of pursuing a wellness/Recovery lifestyle.

How many times should I meet with a Peer Support Professional?

That is up to you. Many of the benefits of peer support come from the relationship aspect of the service. Telehealth Recovery Network recommends a commitment of at least 3 months; however, you can utilize Peer Support Services as often or as infrequent as you would like.

What training do peer support professionals go through?
