Healing Connections Peer Support Groups were created for and by people who experience emotional distress, extreme and/or altered states of consciousness, substance use, labels of psychiatric diagnosis, and/or who are trauma survivors. We come together to share information, hope, joys, fears, successes, and hardships in the ‘most’ safe space we co-create to mutually support, heal, and grow together. We all are collectively responsible for the comfort of our group!
Healing Connections’ facilitators are trained, New York Certified Peer Specialist, Provisionals who have their own experience with emotional distress. The facilitators are there to guide the support group and offer peer support.
MHAW’s Healing Connections Peer Support Groups are offered both, on-line and in-person. For additional peer support or to find out more information, please contact our Peer Support Line at 631-471-7242 ext. 1217 or visit our website at www.mhaw.org.
