Peer Support
Peer Support Services in Southeastern Arizona
Healing does not end when a forensic interview or medical exam does. Our peer support specialists walk alongside survivors and their family members with ongoing, one-on-one support, offered at no cost and in complete confidence, for as long as that support is needed.
More Than a Single Appointment
A forensic interview and a medical forensic exam are single events. Peer support is different. It is an ongoing relationship with the same peer support specialist or life coach over time, built around what you need to keep moving forward.
- One-on-one sessions with a dedicated peer support specialist or life coach
- A consistent, familiar person to check in with over weeks or months, not just a single visit
- Bilingual peer support for Spanish-speaking survivors and family members
- Coordination with your advocate when you are also working with our
victim advocacy services, or have been through a forensic interview or medical forensic exam
