Building a Nationwide Hub for Peer Support

PeerUp, a program under NHRC, supports peers with lived/living experience with drug use and community members across the U.S. through personal, professional, and workforce development.

Launched in October 2023, PeerUp hosts “The Peer Gathering Cohort,” a monthly peer support call which includes personal check-ins, community updates, and peer initiatives to address diverse community needs. Since its inception, over 100 peers and community members have joined the calls to learn and improve the experiences of people with living/lived experience.

PeerUp aims to provide comprehensive wraparound support for peers and community members, and evolve into a one-stop hub where peers can access resources, personal connections, and assistance.

PeerUp is building a national network that ensures support and connection, no matter where peers are located in the country.
