At Community Connections, peers are utilized in several ways across the agency. Some are employees, others are participants in grant-funded programs. Some serve as interns and still others act as volunteers. In every case, peers helps clients understand how to take charge of their own treatment, how to cope with crises, and how to navigate an often confusing health care system.

If you have questions about peer services, please contact Renee Robertson, Manager of Peer Services at Community Connections at 202.608.4280 or rrobertson@ccdc1.org.
