Peer support is a term you might hear in mental health, disease, and addiction recovery work. The idea is really what it sounds like: support provided by people who have “been there, done that” and are still walking the walk. So how does it work exactly? What is the process like to become a peer? And what does that support feel like for people in active recovery? Today, we hear from folks who have been on both sides of the table.
