Individual Peer Support

Contact our team today Refer a client

Peer support for people addressing their alcohol and other drug (AOD) use, available as a standalone support service or as a complement to the support provided by a counsellor or a medical team.

About the service

Our team can connect people with a Peer Support Worker who has lived experience of AOD use or dependency – someone who can walk side by side with an individual on their alcohol or drug recovery journey, including ongoing support during and after treatment.

The support worker will work collaboratively with the individual to achieve their goals, providing encouragement and advice and helping them develop:

• coping skills and strategies
• a healthier sense of self and emotional wellbeing
• confidence, self-esteem and hope for a healthier future.

 This support can play a crucial role in recovery, giving people someone to talk to and confide in with confidence – a peer with first-hand experience of the challenges of alcohol and drug use and the associated mental health risks.

We accept self-referrals and referrals from counsellors or healthcare practitioners. For more information, please contact reception on 9416 4444 or at clientservices@holyoake.org.au
