In January, thanks to the generous support of the Colorado Health Foundation, we welcomed 4 new staff members as Peer Support Specialists. Already, they have changed our program for the better. In their own words, this is how they describe what they bring to clients:
“We support and uplift to create hope... My lived experience communicates that I don’t judge.”
“We validate their emotions and their journey. We help them to feel that they are not alone.”
“Because of our lived experience, we dissolve the gap between the client and the service provider.”
“I can help you navigate getting back on your feet.”
We will continue to share news about these wonderful Peer Specialists and the hope and support they provide to clients. We are very grateful for them.
