| Peer Support Line |
| The Peer Support
Line is a free, confidential support helpline for people with mental
illness. Support is provided by Peer Support Specialists who are
trained and advanced in their recovery. As individuals in recovery from mental
illness, Peer Support Specialists are able to employ their own
experience to help callers with daily living support and recovery
needs and goals.
To work on the Peer Support Line, Peer Support Specialists undergo approximately 100 hours of intensive training, including a practicum. After training, they participate in workshops, in-services, and seminars to refine skill levels. The Peer Support Line is open weekdays 6 p.m.-2 a.m. and weekends 10 a.m.-2 a.m. Individuals can reach a Peer Support Specialist during these hours by dialing 2-1-1 or (262) 549-8646 and asking to speak to a Peer Support Specialist.
