Peer support program

We offer peer support services if you’re working to recover from mental health and/or substance use challenges.

Peer support is a non-clinical, non-judgmental service offered by people who live with mental health and/or substance use challenges themselves. Peer support specialists can help you explore various pathways to recovery, access available resources and develop goals, all while focusing on your strengths. They will meet you where you are, offer understanding and inspire hope.

This program helps you manage chronic behavioral health conditions. We offer peer support services on top of care management. Our peer support specialists will reach out to you if you have a mental health or substance use disorder diagnosis following an inpatient or emergency room (ER) visit.

If you have further questions related to your care, please contact Cameron Milkins at Cameron.Milkins@molinahealthcare.com
