Peer Support Services
Peer Support Services at Schea K Solutions are non-clinical and grounded in lived experience, shared understanding, practical support, and respect for your autonomy. Support can take different forms depending on what you need, and may include Peer Counseling, Peer Mentoring, Peer Coaching, and Independent Peer Advocacy.
The work may involve conversation, problem-solving, decision support, goal development, communication, rebuilding and recovery planning, lived-experience perspective, self-advocacy, and practical support while navigating change, relationships, systems, or uncertainty. Because different parts of life often affect one another, support may also include looking at how stress, communication, environment, identity, relationships, routines, and past experiences are influencing what is happening now.

Ways I Can Support You
Peer Counseling
Structured, non-clinical, client-directed peer conversation focused on problem-solving, decision support, goals, communication, and rebuilding or recovery planning.
Peer Mentoring
Lived-experience perspective, practical knowledge, shared understanding, and support navigating experiences, changes, or challenges where relevant lived experience can be useful.
Peer Coaching
Peer-based support for clarifying goals, identifying options, developing strategies, following through, and evaluating what is working.
Independent Peer Advocacy
Support maintaining your voice, understanding your options, communicating what matters to you, and participating meaningfully while navigating a system, service, organization, or important meeting.
My Approach to Peer Support
I work beside people, not above them. My approach is grounded, direct, trauma-aware, body-aware, integrative, and centered on autonomy. I pay attention to how different parts of a person’s life connect because thoughts, emotions, stress responses, communication, relationships, environment, routines, identity, choice, and lived experience can all affect one another.
Your experience is not treated as something to fix, manage, or force into a predetermined process. There is room for uncertainty, mixed feelings, contradiction, anger, grief, relief, and the parts of rebuilding that do not fit into neat language. You will not be pressured toward a particular conclusion or expected to move forward on someone else’s timeline.
The purpose of peer support is to create space to understand what is happening, recognize what matters to you, consider your options, and determine what makes sense for your own life. Support should strengthen your autonomy, not replace it.

Moving Forward
Peer support can give you a place to think, talk, ask questions, consider options, and work through what comes next with someone who respects your lived experience, judgment, and right to choose your own direction. You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. Sometimes the first step is simply having a place to make sense of what is happening.
