Peer support is the connection of persons with lived experience in recovery to persons seeking to achieve or sustain recovery. Science has shown that social support is vital in building the resources to sustain recovery. Peer support can come in several forms, one-on-one, groups, direct, indirect, etc.
Peer mentoring & coaching are services provided at Communities for Recovery for individuals to build strengths and resources to sustain recovery. A person seeking to achieve or sustain recovery may work with a mentor or coach either one-on-one or in groups. Mentors are available on a provisional basis at our community center Mon-Fri 8:30-4:30. Groups occur throughout the week at times listed on our schedule. Formal paired coaching connections may emerge from these.
If you are interested in peer mentoring or have questions please drop by our community center at 4110 Guadalupe Street, or send us an email, or call (512) 758-7686.
Formal paired coaching is provided through targeted programs and partner agreements. This is a one-on-one partnership with a peer recovery coach made through direct referral. A recovery coach engages with an individual in recovery-wellness planning to build recovery capital. This type of coaching is provided by trained and certified Peer Recovery Support Specialists (PRS).
