CHESS Health Peer Engagement Team.
The CHESS Peer Engagement team is composed of certified peer recovery support specialists.
Our team of certified peer engagement specialists complements your team of recovery coaches. They can supplement patient support, especially during times when individuals are unable to attend in-person sessions or meetings.
The CHESS Health Peer Engagement team moderates the Connections Community, hosts virtual support meetings, and provides 1:1 crisis support to individuals when an escalation occurs.
Our team, comprising individuals with diverse backgrounds, bilingual proficiency, and unique recovery journeys, shares a common motivation and dedication to supporting those in recovery on the Connections app.

Support from our Peer Engagement Team
Moderate Online Community
Discussion threads continue through the day and night, which means individuals can get (and give!) support 24/7.
24/7 Crisis Support
If needed, peers support individuals in crisis to reduce the likelihood of return to use or self harm.
Virtual Support
Group Meetings
CHESS Peers conduct “Alongsides” to bring individuals together. Providers may also choose to run group sessions through the CHESS platform.
Specialized Communities
Peers faciitate meetings supportive of a variety of communities including families, pregnant people, parents, LGBTQIA+, teens, veterans, and more.
Peer Connect
The CHESS Health Peer Engagement Team also facilitates Peer Connect, a program that recognizes that effective peer support starts with supporting the specialists themselves—creating a foundation for stronger, more sustainable client outcomes. Learn more about our Peer Connect program.
