Peer Workers are people who have a ‘lived experience’ of mental illness. ‘Lived Experience’ is the understanding we get from having lived through something. This may be a personal experience of mental illness, or of caring for someone with mental health issues.
Peer workers provide empathy, non-judgemental support, work with others to assist them to build the tools for their recovery and can support people in different ways depending on the needs of the person they are working with.
Our Care Navigators support people by connecting them with services within the community, ensuring person-centred, integrated care. They remove access barriers, facilitate warm referrals, enhance care outcomes, and provide guidance in navigating the mental health system.
These clinicians provide support to people impacted by alcohol and drug use with co-occurring mental health needs.
