Enhance Support

How Peer Support Enhances the Recovery Process When a person experiences a potentially life threatening illness, who do they want to talk to? An expert in treating the illness and someone who has survived it. Because The Main Place's staff is made up of individuals who have overcome the impact that mental challenges had on their lives, they can: 1) Share their wisdom, knowledge and experience in recovery; 2) Make you aware of choices you have and assist in implementing your own personal plan of recovery; 3) Link you to resources beyond the mental health system; 4) Help you master the skills necessary to recover; and 5) Provide comfort and support along the journey.
