Peer Specialists working within the Peer Bridger Program at St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center’s Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP) will work closely with high-risk individuals to support their connection and engagement within the community upon their discharge from the hospital. Peer Bridgers serve as mentors, demonstrate personal self-help and wellness skills and provide validation and support to individuals. Using evidence-based peer interventions and working collaboratively with the team, Peer Bridgers are actively involved in promoting recovery, self-determination, and shared decision making.
