WHAT IS A PEER?
Peers are the outreach specialists. They have experienced many, if not all, of the situations that Linkage to Care aims to assist with including past incarceration, homelessness, and addiction. They are familiar with the barriers that keep people from the help they need and are in a unique situation to be able to provide help and empathy.
