Peer to Peer Supports
At the heart of the Wildflower Alliance’s work are peer-to-peer supports.
What is Peer Support?
Peer to peer support means coming together as regular people who have “been there” ourselves, and exploring whatever people are struggling with, side-by-side.
Peer support means trusting the inherent wisdom of each person, and avoiding giving advice or interpretations of what they are going through, unless they ask.
Our Approach
VALIDATION communicates that our thoughts and feelings are welcome and real.
CURIOSITY gives us lots of space to explore what things mean without jumping to assessment or conclusions.
VULNERABILITY creates genuine and mutual relationships where each person matters.
Engaging the broader COMMUNITY reminds us to be bridges, not lifeboats in our support work.
Healing and Growth Through Relationships
Centers & Respite
Each of our centers is currently serving as a basic needs and support station. We distribute food, phones, foot warmers, camping gear, bleach kits, narcan, and other essentials to people in the community.
Discord
Discord is a social platform that we use to host an online peer support & community space.
Community Bridging
The Wildflower Alliance has Community Bridgers. People who can ease the transition from hospital back to community for those who would like additional support.
Housing Supports
Searching for and maintaining adequate housing can often feel hopeless and demoralizing. The Wildflower Alliance can help.
