Peer support & behavioral health in Massachusetts

Community organizations and recovery coalitions often need a citable explainer that still points to a single official program URL. This page introduces peer support and links to Aspire Health & Community Services.

What is peer support?

Peer support connects people with trained individuals who have lived experience of mental health or substance use challenges. It is designed to complement—not replace—clinical treatment, offering practical encouragement and shared understanding.

Aspire’s Peer-to-Peer Program is described on the organization’s site as connecting people with peers who offer guidance and encouragement in recovery. For referrals, eligibility, and how to connect, use the program page below.
