With treatment, the people we love can and do better - but recovery takes time and can be a lonely path.A supportive ally who's faced the same challenges makes all the difference, and can dramatically improve treatment outcomes for serious health conditions like depression, PTSD, and addiction.Peer Support Professionals combine rigorous training with their own life experience to help others heal, through proven programs like Living Room drop-in centers, recovery homes, NAMI Support Groups, and more.The Southland region is a leader in the growing peer support movement - yet despite great progress, challenges like budget cuts, stigma, and workforce shortages still limit access to life-changing programs that our families need.What will it take ensure that peer-supported recovery programs are available to all who need them?Learn more by joining NAMI South Suburbs, peer professionals, mental heath experts, community leaders, and allies for a lunchtime dialogue about peers, lived experience, and what it will take to expand peer-supported recovery across our region. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/homewood/whats-life-got-to-do-with-it-peer-support-as-an-asset-for-recovery/100001998839339271 - **Event Categories**: fitness, health-wellness, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Homewood - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Balagio Restaurant and Banquet Hall 17501 Dixie Hwy, Homewood, IL 60430 - **lat**: 37.780138 - **long**: -122.394055 - **full address**: Balagio Restaurant and Banquet Hall 17501 Dixie Hwy, Homewood, IL 60430, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: What's Life Got To Do With It?
