Our Common Welfare (OCW), a project of Women in New Recovery (WINR), is expanding a previously funded RCSP peer program by developing new peer leaders from among the more than 45 operators and 2,100 residents of recovery homes in Maricopa and Yavapai Counties, Arizona. Historically, recovery homes have been resource-poor and unable to provide support services for their residents. New peer recovery support services in these environments are reaching underserved populations of women and men and building the capacity of the recovery housing community to meet the needs of those seeking recovery. In addition to providing leadership and tools, OCW and its trained peer leaders offer such services as strengths- mapping workshops, peer coaching, peer case management, ex-offender reentry assistance, and peer-led support groups. OCW also maintains a recovery resource center and sponsors a Holistic Health Fair. |
