Peer support isn’t about telling someone what their progress should look like. It’s about walking alongside them as they recognize what progress looks like for themselves.

We asked our participants what they’re most proud of. This was one of their responses.

Every step counts, and every win deserves to be recognized.

Another week of peer support training is in the books!

It was a privilege to spend the week with such an engaged, thoughtful, and supportive group. Thank you to everyone who showed up each day, participated in discussions, asked great questions, and helped create an environment where everyone could learn from one another. Some of the best learning doesn't come from a PowerPoint—it comes from the conversations, experiences, and perspectives shared throughout the room, and this group made the most of every opportunity.

A special thank you to Marcus, our Director of Research, for joining us for a Science of Recovery Q&A and helping connect lived experience with the latest research. We'd also like to thank Steve Rummler HOPE Network for providing an Overdose Response & Naloxone Training, helping ensure this group is prepared to respond in moments that can save lives.

Congratulations on completing the training! We can't wait to see the impact you'll have as you continue your journey into the peer workforce.

Kelsey has become a welcoming first point of contact for many people reaching out to us. Drawing from her own recovery, she helps connect others with peer support while offering the compassion and encouragement that once made a difference in her own life. We asked her to share what this work, and her own recovery, mean to her:

“I do this work because I know firsthand that recovery is possible. Someone believed in me before I believed in myself, and that changed my life. Even though I'm now in an intake role, I love being able to connect people with peer support because I know how powerful it is to have someone who truly understands what you're going through.”

“Peer support isn't about giving advice or telling someone how to recover. It's about walking alongside them, offering hope through lived experience, and showing them that they don't have to do it alone. Sometimes just knowing someone else has made it through can make all the difference.”

“For people in early recovery, I would say: give yourself grace and don't give up. Recovery isn't about being perfect—it's about continuing to show up, even on the hard days. Life truly does get better. Keep asking for help, stay connected, and remember that you never have to do this alone.”

Outside of work, Kelsey enjoys group fitness classes, spending time outdoors, and taking her son on what they call the "playground shuffle"—exploring new parks and playgrounds together. She's also a proud mom, a college student working toward her LADC, and a fan of uplifting music, coffee, and street tacos.

We’re grateful to have Kelsey on our team—thank you for sharing your experience and for the support you provide to so many people.
