Peer Support Services
We’ve been there. We understand.
Coleman Peer Recovery Support Specialists are living proof that recovery is possible. Peer support recovery groups work because they are facilitated by specialists who understand the process – because they have been successful in their own recovery process.
And we’re uniquely qualified to support you.
In fact, our Peer Recovery Support Specialists in the State of Ohio must have a direct lived experience of mental health and/or substance use issues. Like our clinical staff, our certified peer support specialists receive special training and are required to obtain Continuing Education Units. We train our peer support specialists to become teachers, role models and advocates in your recovery process. That’s exactly why Coleman Peer Support Specialists are able to focus on helping you reach your own goals and achieve your potential. They share from their own personal experiences, to help you identify workable strategies you can successfully implement into your own life.
We’re here to support you through real life issues.
Coleman Peer Support Groups can offer insight for dealing with mental illness and substance use, and how these issues can impact work, relationships, finances, health and more. If you’ve been newly diagnosed with a mental health issue, or you are on your recovery journey and need support and motivation, you can always call on our peer support specialists for the help you need.
