Lauren’s journey changed the day she met a peer support specialist who helped her find a recovery group and, with it, a real community. Hearing other people’s stories gave her the courage to shape her own path forward. Asking for help while dealing with a substance use disorder (SUD) can feel overwhelming, which is why Lauren encourages all of us to reach out and offer support. Today, she extends that same generosity to others as a peer support specialist herself. She’s a reminder that hope grows when people show up for one another. 🌱
