Did you know more than 10% of Canadians experience mood, anxiety, or substance use disorders? Many who seek services for these problems look for support from others who had a similar experience and are now in recovery. This type of support can be critical to success when trying to adopt healthy and positive behaviours. In short, people with lived experience can play an important role in helping others achieve recovery from mental health problems and addictions.
The Centre for Innovation in Peer Support is leading the way with a peer support service model in the Mississauga - Halton Region. EENet collaborated with the Centre for Innovation in Peer Support to highlight this promising practice that is changing the way Ontario's mental health and addiction system is viewed and functions.
