Peer support services improve clinical outcomes
Empowering individuals with peer support for recovery
Partnerships in evidence-based treatment
We partner with peer-led organizations to develop treatment and educational resources and pilot new and innovative peer programs.
Peer support services (PSS) are delivered by a person in recovery from a serious mental illness, substance use, or co-occurring mental and substance use condition. Optum® programs that include PSS deliver better health outcomes and more effective service utilization.
