You Don’t have to do it alone

Relationships between peers are often considered central to the therapeutic process of recovery. Guided self-help and peer-provided services for mental health and addictions have grown rapidly in recent years. Many individuals who seek professional social work services are also involved in peer-provided recovery activities. Resource-focused and professionally led self-help is compatible and complementary to 12-step programs, such as Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous, as it integrates peer support and collaborative leadership with the best of professional programs, including sober leadership.
