During National Recovery Month, we recognize the important role that hope, connection, and lived experience can play in recovery.

Vinfen’s peer support services connect people with trained peer specialists who draw on their own experiences of recovery. Peer specialists listen, offer encouragement, share practical guidance and resources, and support people as they identify and pursue the goals that matter to them.

Peer support is central to Vinfen’s Recovery Connection Centers and Recovery Learning Centers, which are led by and for people with lived experience.
