Peer support changes lives. For some people, it also becomes a career.

Peer Washington's workforce development programs help individuals gain skills, complete training, build confidence, and prepare for opportunities in peer support and related fields. Every year, people from across Washington take part in training programs that help strengthen both individuals and communities.

Pride Month is an opportunity to celebrate community, resilience, and the people who helped create the spaces many of us rely on today.

Peer Washington was founded by members of Washington's LGBTQ+ community, and those roots remain an important and visible part of who we are. For decades, we have worked to create welcoming spaces where people can find support, build relationships, and connect with others who understand. We're proud to celebrate Pride and grateful to be part of a community that continues to support one another through challenges and triumphs alike.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭? Peer support is built on shared experience.

• It's people helping people.
• It's listening without judgment.
• It's knowing you're not the only person who has been through something difficult.

At Peer Washington, peer support isn't about telling someone what to do. It's about walking alongside them, helping them identify their strengths, and supporting them as they move toward their own goals. Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can offer another person is understanding.

Many people have heard the name Peer Washington. Fewer know what we actually do.

Peer Washington is an LGBTQ+-rooted organization that provides peer emotional support and development services for people impacted by addiction, mental health challenges, HIV/AIDS, and other chronic illnesses. Every day, people come through our doors looking for support, connection, resources, training, or simply a place to talk with someone who understands. That's what peer support is all about.

For more than 40 years, Peer Washington has helped people find support, build community, and move forward through life's challenges. Today, we're launching 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, a campaign focused on the people, services, and communities that make peer support so powerful. Throughout the next several weeks, we'll be sharing stories, highlighting programs, celebrating community partnerships, and helping more people learn about the support available through Peer Washington.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief:
No one should have to face life's challenges alone.
