LATINO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES & THE OFFICE OF SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH PRESENT:

The Utah Peer conference 2023

Peer support is a part of the human experience. Being able to share experiences, help heal, guide, and warn one another is what bonds us as families, friends, and communities. There is a long history of peer support that we need to strengthen and cement here at this conference and throughout the coming year. Peers have continued to exercise their voice in their own treatment and recovery process. Today, peers are an essential partner in supporting recovery through mutual support, education, and advocacy across the nation, in the fields of mental health and substance use disorders. -Doug Thomas
