You’re Not Alone — We’re Here to Help

At Peer Support Services, our team is made up of Peer Support Workers who bring lived experience with mental health into everything we do. We understand the challenges because we’ve been there — and we’re here to walk alongside you with empathy, encouragement, and hope. 

Whether you’re living with mental health challenges yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply looking for guidance, our Peer Support Workers are here to help you set goals, access resources, and build the life you want. 

Our services are available in person, by phone, or by email.

We can support you with: 

  1. Navigating financial assistance applications and appeals 
  2. Referrals to free or low-cost therapy and counseling 
  3. Education and support for family members and caregivers 
  4. Finding affordable housing and available subsidies 
  5. Addressing landlord/tenant issues 
  6. Exploring mental health recovery programs, education, and job training 
  7. Personalized support tailored to your unique needs

You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s take the next step together.
