DISTRICT PEER SUPPORT PROGRAM

About the Program

Consumers and family members have identified the need for and benefit of services provided by a peer; someone who has experienced a mental illness and is knowledgeable of mental health and social services.  This is a consumer driven initiative that provides support to individuals and families who are affected by the stigma and reality of mental illness throughout the Kenora and Rainy River Districts.

Our staff has a blend of education, training and personal experience with mental illness.  Through the combination of these three components, staff promote recovery; providing a supportive and safe environment where peope can talk about their mental health issues without judgement and with confidentiality.

Who is Eligible

Individuals 18 years of age and older that have a personal mental health issue, or have had one in the past.

Family members of individuals with a mental health issue.

The Program Provides

  • Peer, Family and Forensic Peer Support
  • Peer Support Drop-In Centres
  • Education Training such as Mental Health First Aid, Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), Hearing Voices that are Distressing and Anti-Stigma Education
  • Regional Consumer and Family Conferences
  • Eight Session Familly Information Support Program
  • Referral and Advocacy Services

PEER SUPPORT:

Peer support is staffed by those who have direct personal experience receiving mental health services, helping and supporting other adults with mental illness to work on their own recovery.

FAMILY SUPPORT:

When someone is diagnosed with a mental illness it can affect the whole family including parents, children spouses and siblings.  We can help support family members and caregivers through this difficult time with education, information, individual support and more.

FORENSIC PEER SUPPORT:

Forensic Peer Support provides support to individuals who have been, are in, or are at risk of being in the criminal justic system.  Forensic Peer Support Workers provide advocacy and support as indivudals focus on their paths to recovey.

We promote RECOVERY and most importantly, we can provide HOPE.

The Program is Offered

Throughout the Kenora and Rainy River Districts.
