What is Certified Peer Support (CPS) at AIM?
 

Certified Peer Support Specialists provide emotional support and guidance from their own personal experiences, modeling hope, personal responsibility, and self-advocacy. Peers provide linkages to community resources, support groups, health screenings, etc. Services are individualized to maximize independence and meet individual needs. We take a trauma-informed care approach to services and support, in addition to disability specialization.

Youth (14 years and older) through older adults with physical disabilities and serious mental illness/serious emotional disturbance exhibiting functional impairment that impedes their ability to live and thrive in the community.
