What Makes Our Team Different

We are peer professionals who combine lived experience, specialized training, and a shared commitment to supporting families across Rhode Island.

Many members of our team have personal experience navigating mental health challenges, substance use recovery, parenting challenges, and complex systems of care. Alongside professional training, these experiences help us meet families with understanding, compassion, and hope.

Many Family Support Partners are dual-certified as Certified Peer Recovery Specialists (CPRS) and Community Health Workers (CCHW), bringing both lived experience and specialized training to the work they do every day.


Our approach is:

  • Peer-informed

  • Trauma-informed

  • Family-centered

  • Recovery-friendly

  • Grounded in lived experience
