Our staff, who share similar life experiences (e.g., physical or mental health
challenges) with clients, provide empathetic and personalized mentoring
and information sharing in a judgment-free environment.
This service is designed to offer emotional validation and coping strategies, serving as a vital link between periods of crisis and achieving long-term stability.
The support we offer is focused on key areas: self-empowerment, skill-
building, fostering social connection, and helping clients effectively navigate
various resource systems.
As a core philosophy and statutory requirement of Centers for Independent
Living, peer support is a cornerstone of the Independent Living Movement.
