Peer Support Services provides men, women, and young adults with peer specialists who have experienced some of the same challenges they are facing. Our peer support services are based on trust, and focus on living with mental health or substance abuse disorders, rather than being overcome by them. Peer specialists “who have been there, done that” mentor individuals on self-care and resiliency skills, setting achievable goals, building on personal strengths, and making informed decisions. The focus is on independence; regaining control of their lives. Peer supports are provided throughout our Programs in Pennsylvania. In addition to Peer Support Services, Horizon House offers a Certified Peer Specialist Service in which peer specialists receive specialized training and are certified.
