2024 Year of the Peer Logo

Year of the Peer represents an exciting year-long opportunity to participate, capturing the passion of the peer workforce through planned events, conferences and workshops. The events, conferences and workshops are aimed to educate everyone in attendance on the role of the peer and the positive impact peers bring to the table.

Year of the Peer Vision: We envision Virginia as an integrated recovery-oriented system of care where Peer Specialists are valued for being champions, building connection, and offering support to individuals with mental health and substance use challenges.

Year of the Peer Mission: The Mission of Virginia’s Year of the Peer initiative is to celebrate champions of recovery, unify Peer Recovery Specialists, and build bridges of understanding with clinical colleagues, community partners, and organizations across Virginia.
