Our Peer Support Groups

Peer Support Groups are at the heart of what we do at FAVOR Piedmont. These groups provide a safe space where individuals can share their experiences, offer support, and learn from others who have faced similar challenges. Led by trained facilitators with personal experience in recovery, our Peer Support Groups help participants build the confidence and resilience they need to stay on track.

Our Peer Support Groups are designed to be inclusive and accessible, offering support for individuals at every stage of their recovery journey. Whether you are just starting or have been in recovery for years, these groups provide the encouragement and accountability that are crucial for long-term success.

This collaborative approach not only helps individuals feel less isolated but also fosters a sense of community and belonging that is essential for recovery.
