Let's Talk

New H.O.P.E. CDC believes in the power of peer support because we understand that sharing burdens often lessen their weight. Facilitated by a peer support specialist, we assist individuals grappling with mental illness or addiction in discussing their experiences, struggles, and challenges. Peer support is a crucial anchor for those on the road to recovery, equipping them with skills to live more effectively in their communities. This support can be liberating, helping individuals realize they are not alone in their struggles, fostering hope and trust.
