- Peers/ experiential workers, i.e. individuals with lived/living experience of substance use, are important service providers and first responders that play a crucial role in supporting individuals that use substances and in preventing overdoses. Despite the important work they do, there is lack of awareness on the role played by peers/ experiential workers. This video highlights the work done by peers/ experiential workers and the challenges they face in their role.
This video was created as part of the Peer2Peer (P2P) project which aims to identify, implement and evaluate peer/ experiential worker-led support interventions that would be valuable and effective for peers/ experiential workers.

I'm getting ready to do orientation for Peer Support Specialist, I'm very excited for this opportunity in California where there is so much hurt in the community. I'm not from California I'm here caring or my mom in last stage of dementia. I know exactly what it's like to be an addict and walk away from that on my own, was homeless a couple times. I know the hurt I had to overcome. I have more hurt I'm a grieving mother whom raised 2 severely disabled sons whom passed away. I have overcame the grief with God's help. By being homeless and going to Heartland Family Service Peer Center I found out I had encouraged women to go to the peer center. Iam an encourager to people that are hurting... Have a great day, the Lord is with you always.
Amen!
So beautiful thank you for all you do
Thank you so much for making this beautiful video. I appreciate the work of peers. I will pass this along. Keep up the great job!
Thank you, Silvia! We appreciate your support.
Thanks to the many peer support workers out there! Tracy i met you yesterday at the HUB. I have seen and heard about all your help with the folks of Maple Ridge i just wanted to say thanks for helping all the folks in my town!💗😊 I know the grip of drugs and we all deserve to live and be respected as humans!!
This video is amazing thank you this really makes me more excited to get the training and certification in Peer Support Specialist I'am so very excited in my older age of 49. I got tired of going from Job to job and never being satisfied and now I have a desire and purpose to help those with whatever they need help with alcohol, drugs and digging a deep hole of desperation and not knowing how to get out of it, but there is way out of that hopelessness, using sexual manipulations., having very low self esteem and gaining esteem and loving myself all over again.

Great to see familiar faces!
Hi from hothead and LLEOHN:
Living/Lived Experience Of Homelessness Network.
Hope to see some of you at our Housing Rally in L’kwungen WSANEC tomorrow Friday May 13 noon Centennial Square
This msg is for Mat n Vancouver. I noticed that u had an upside-down cross on ur hat. What a terrible waste of a wonderful, beautiful human being such as urself if u were to do such good n ur life of serving others yet end up n hell afterwards only to suffer an eternity of torment. It wudn’t seem fair. Pls find Jesus as ur Savior. U r a soul that deserves to b n heaven bc u act as an angel to many, giving them 2nd chances. Love to u 💝
Seriously Stacy? It doesn't even look like an upside down cross. Looks more like a + or just a design of some kind. But you seem like the type to look and see religious symbols everywhere and then are the type to look around for people that probably don't need or want to hear from you.
In any case, do you REALLY think that Jesus would look down on someone like Matt?!trying to overcome the hardest thing while having compassion for others. Just because he has a SYMBOL ON HIS HAT???!!!. I thought it was vital to not idolize figures, symbols, buildings etc? To just hold Christ in your heart .
If you actually think that anyone living like Matt does would spend an 'eternity in hell' because you think any being is that awful...I feel sad for you
