The PEER Support Act would establish or expand programs that use trained peers—people with lived experience in mental health or substance abuse recovery—to help others going through similar challenges. This would affect patients seeking mental health treatment, people recovering from addiction, healthcare providers, and potentially employers offering employee wellness programs. The bill aims to make mental health and addiction support more accessible and relatable by having people who have successfully recovered help guide others through their own recovery journeys.
