The Seattle/King County Peer Recovery Services Network is a collaboration among the grantee, Multifaith Works, a nondenominational nonprofit organization providing housing and other supportive services to people living with HIV/AIDS, and three other Seattle organizations: a counseling organization serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) communities; a gay city health project providing HIV and STD testing; and a program hosting multiple support groups composed of people living with HIV/AIDS. The Network operates as a peer-led clearinghouse facilitating referral and access to services provided by the partners and other Seattle health and human service agencies. It also serves as the organizational hub for engaging, training and retaining peer volunteers in the partnering organizations, and works to elevate the profile of recovery in the GLBTQ communities of Seattle and reduce the stigma associated with addiction and recovery in these communities. |
