Peer Professionals are transforming lives
Kyros whole-heartedly believes in the immense value that Peer Professionals bring to the recovery community. This is why we’re committed to professionalizing the Peer role – life-saving workers deserve a fulfilling work experience.
What is a Peer Professional?
Peer Professionals are professionals within the recovery community who utilize their lived experience to support their peers in recovery. Providing the clients with a range of support services, Peers use their own experiences in recovery to guide, advise and mentor each client uniquely. As each person in recovery has encountered different hurdles, clients rely on Peers who can understand what they have lived through. We recognize that this connection is of utmost importance, and this is why we pair each client with a Peer who is best equipped to support them in healthy recovery.
