At Eleanor Health, our Community Recovery Partners (CRPs) have walked the path of recovery themselves, enabling them to provide compassionate support and guidance from a place of lived experience. Their first-hand knowledge and training equips them to empathize, motivate, and empower you on your journey towards healing.
Peer support plays an important role in many people’s recovery journey. It provides a safe and judgment-free space to discuss your struggles with someone who has been through it before, and knows what you are dealing with. Peer support focuses on personal recovery, empowerment, and community support.
Community Recovery Partners (CRPs) are trained peer support specialists who have lived experience with addiction and mental health struggles. They offer support without judgment or expectations, and create a safe space to openly discuss your struggles, triumphs, and setbacks as you begin your recovery journey.
CRPs combine their personal experience with skills learned in formal training to help you navigate the system and develop a personalized plan for recovery.
We currently offer Peer Support All-Recovery Meetings for our members twice each week:
• Wednesdays at 12:00 PM ET
• Thursdays at 4:00 PM ET
(Availability may vary depending on your state.)
If you’re interested in joining a peer group or connecting one-on-one with a Peer Support Specialist, please reach out to Eleanor Health at (866) 465-0590 or online to learn more and confirm eligibility.
