PEER SUPPORT RECOVERY @ SMA Healthcare (AVAILABLE 24/7)

Whether someone is beginning their recovery journey or navigating new mental health challenges, peer support is always a great resource. Peer Support staff are available 24/7. Though each and every person is unique, talking with someone who has been there can bring out a new side of healing. Peer support in recovery is created to offer a more specialized conversation with someone who has walked a similar path. When someone is in the beginning of recovery, it can often feel overwhelming and hopeless, but getting the chance to speak with someone who understands can often be beneficial for both parties.

Often, individuals in recovery have a hard time seeing how things can get better when they feel as though they are at a standstill. Hearing from someone who has navigated those hurdles can instill hope that things can get better.

Peer support will often focus on the following:

-Sharing stories

-Mentoring

-Provide inspiration

-Emotional support

Along with peer support for those in recovery, these resources can also be beneficial for the family as well. When a loved one is in the beginning of their recovery journey, it is common for their family to be filled with worries and questions. Peer support can also be useful for those loved ones who have questions or in need of guidance for the long road ahead.

    PICKING UP THE PIECES

    We are a mobile outreach service that meets individuals where they are at in their recovery journey, including active addiction. We believe that advocation works and allows people to open up without feeling outlasted or judged as building relationships is vital in leading folks to recovery. Our founder, Michelle Pepin is a certified Peer Support specialist and recovery coach. She started this mission after overcoming her own addiction, followed by losing her son to fentanyl poisoning. Our purpose reaches those struggling with SUD, those seeking help, those who are homeless, as well as the LGBTQ community and youth by providing linkage to applicable resources.

    OneWorks is an umbrella harm reduction service which is operated by us at Picking Up the Pieces. We offer wound care, Narcan distribution, HIVST (HIV self-testing), SSP (Safe Syringe Program), fentanyl testing, sex worker and human trafficking advocacy. We are one of many grassroots organizations throughout the country with the same goals of self preservation and care until the individual is ready to make a leap into recovery. What we do is more than an exchange, we value people for who they are-human beings. Harm reductionists focus on bodily autonomy, minimizing common blood borne diseases and bacterial infections such as Hep-B & C, HIV, abscesses, MRSA, and staphylococcal infections. Most importantly, giving hope to the hopeless. It’s amazing what impact that genuinely caring has.
