Our peer mentorship program is designed to match trained Peer Support Providers with our clients to build a relationship of trust, where you can work one on one towards successful recovery of your mental health.

Clients can get caring one on one support from their peer mentor by working with you on self-care strategies, coping skills and tools, wrap plans, checking in with each other, developing safety plans, getting helpful reminders, and working together towards recovery.

Our Peer Support Providers are peers with lived experience with mental health and life challenges and have completed our comprehensive 12-week training course.

One area of our mission is to promote and create awareness and safety within ourselves and our communities that we live in. Two critical objectives for accomplishing this is to work toward destigmatising mental health within ourselves and within our communities, the other is eliminating barriers for equitable access to mental health support.

Our, Community Education, mission is to provide training, workshops, and information to our community. We hope to work with law enforcement agencies, schools, hospitals, and other agencies to provide mental health training facilitated by peers with lived experience to help eliminate stigma and promote and create awareness and safety.

One of our goals at RCPS in alignment with our mission and values is to host and facilitate peer lead support groups.

Initially we plan to provide the following support group

• Depression & Anxiety Support Group (8 openings available for group in Murrieta starting on March 6th 2022 - Sign Up Here.)

Other Support Groups will include:

• PTSD Support Group

• Survivors of Suicide Attempts Support Group

• Survivors of Violence Support Group

• Non-Consensus Reality Support Group

• Family and Friends Support Group

• POC and Minorities Mental Health Support Group

• Chronic Pain and Disabled Persons Support Group

• LGBT+ Peer Mental Health Support Group

Our Hospital Follow Up Program is designed to work with you after you have been discharged from the hospital after recently attempting suicide. A trained Peer Provider can work with you one on one to provide immediate support and care during your recovery. 

Your Peer Provider can help by:

• Provide compassion and empathy without judgement

• Provide emotional support and encouragement

• Help you develop collaborative safety plans

• Help you with coping skills and strategies

•  Provide you with helpful resources

• Help bridge care between you and other providers for continued support

Recovering and healing from a recent suicide attempt can be a lot to handle; our mission and goal is to lend a hand of support and strength until you get back on your feet.
