North Sound Peer Bridger (258)

Peer Support Services

At Â黨ɫÇéƬ’s North Sound Peer Bridger program, we believe that people who have lived experience with serious mental illness can serve as a powerful resource for modeling and facilitating recovery. Peer support staff can share insights into the experience of stigma, are living examples of consumer empowerment, and have a unique ability to support residents to feel less alone.

About the Program: At Â黨ɫÇéƬ’s North Sound Peer Bridger program, we are here to help you get connected with the services needed to continue your recovery journey.

We believe that recovery is possible, and we will do whatever it takes to support you in reaching your hopes and dreams. Our services begin while you are still at Western State Hospital and will follow you in the community for up to 120 days. Our team consists of three peer bridger staff members who are here to be your supports, advocates, and allies.

Our services emphasize choice-making skills and harm-reduction techniques. We provide a safe, respectful environment where you can receive immediate assistance and a compassionate presence to stabilize symptoms, avoid the need for higher levels of care, and connect you to community-based resources.
