Welcome to New Leaf Peer 2 Peer. Your Journey Towards Recovery Begins Now.
The process of recovery may feel like an isolating experience, and whether you are struggling from a substance abuse disorder, a personal trauma, or a mental health issue, the hardship and struggle weighs on you individually and your loved ones. Peer-to-peer coaching fosters a social network of peers to share that burden of isolation, as you navigate through your recovery.
Peer recovery support services are a type of social support, mentored by peers who share similar narratives. These services are for those seeking guidance in the development and maintenance of their own recovery. Having lived through these experiences themselves, your peers are mindful that recovery is a vulnerable and challenging process. Your peers remain dedicated to accompanying you in your journey of transformation, without imposing their own ideals or biases. Instead, they identify your strengths and encourage you to make self-directed choices on your own path to recovery.
Our Model
The recovery-oriented model focuses on changing behaviors using a peer-mentored approach, as opposed to solely using medications for managing symptoms and treating illnesses. This traditional approach helps with acute breakthroughs or relapses, while the recovery-based approach develops coping skills for long-term management through training and coaching. Your peers use their own personal experiences, along with their professional training to guide you in developing your own recovery pathway. Adding to our peer-to-peer coaching, we provide additional types of support to meet your emotional, informational, instrumental, or communal needs.
