Peer Support Services
Our Peer Support Services program provides peer-led, one-on-one support to adults in Philadelphia to encourage to develop resiliency and skills to maintain a recovery-oriented lifestyle.
Participants are matched with a Certified Peer Specialist who can help them identify goals, learn new skills, and build natural supports. Peer Support Specialists are person centered, strength based, and aimed at empowering individuals to achieve their self-identified goals.
The program office is located at our Inn of Amazing Mercy residence and operates seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Licensed by the State of Pennsylvania OMHSAS and funded by Community Behavioral Health.
