Sometimes the most helpful words are “I’ve been there.” Certified Peer Recovery Specialists (CPRS) at TCWCRG bring lived experience, training, and hope to the recovery process. Here’s how peers complement clinical care.
What Peers Do
- Coaching & goal setting: define doable next steps, track progress, and celebrate wins
- System navigation: community resources, meetings, and practical supports
- Accountability & advocacy: judgment-free check-ins that keep you moving forward
Why It Helps
- Belonging: Connection reduces isolation and shame.
- Modeling: You see recovery lived out in real life.
- Bridging: Peers often help translate clinical skills into daily routines.
Peer Support vs. Therapy
Peers don’t replace therapy. They complement it with practical, day-to-day support and lived-experience perspective—working alongside counselors, dietitians, and wellness coaches.
