Peer Navigation
Mental Health - Adult & Senior
Provided by Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) - North and West Vancouver Branch
Provides support from a peer with lived experience of mental illness, offering a compassionate listening ear and connecting individuals to relevant resources.
Peer Navigators are trained individuals who have personal experience with mental illness. This puts them in a unique position to offer you support as you work on your recovery. Peer Navigators can help you find your bearings in a mental health system that can often be overwhelming. When you connect with a Peer Navigator, they will meet with you and identify the resources you need to move forward in your personal wellness. Peer Navigators provide support as you work to improve the quality of your life. A Peer Navigator can help you with:
- Finding relevant community programs and services
- Navigating mental health systems
- Assisting with social integration
- Accessing community resources
- Finding coping strategies
- Goal setting
Please note - a Peer Navigator is NOT a therapist or counsellor, a medical professional, or a crisis line.
Connecting with Peer Navigators is free, with no formal intake process or eligibility criteria. It offers flexibility where people can choose to connect with a Peer Navigator once or on an ongoing basis. Participants can meet with their Peer Navigator by appointment over the phone, on Zoom, or in person. A Peer Navigator can talk with you within a week of reaching out to CMHA.
