You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out.

Our Certified Peer Support Specialist can meet with you to listen, understand what’s happening, and help you identify your next steps. Because peer support is grounded in lived experience, you’ll be talking with someone who understands the challenges of recovery and the importance of being treated with dignity and respect.

We can help you:

• Explore treatment and recovery options
• Set personal recovery and wellness goals
• Find local services and resources
• Navigate treatment and support systems
• Work through barriers that may be keeping you from getting help
• Connect with mental health resources
• Access treatment, mental health, or transportation assistance when eligible
• Prepare for and follow through with appointments and referrals

You don’t need to know exactly what kind of help you need. Start with a conversation.

Substance use can affect individuals, families, and the people who care about them. It can be difficult to know what to do, where to turn, or how to help someone you love.

Our Peer Support Specialist can help individuals and families better understand available resources and identify possible next steps.

We can help you:

• Learn about treatment and recovery resources
• Understand available community services
• Find appropriate referrals
• Identify barriers that may be making it difficult to access care
• Navigate community resources and support systems

You don’t have to figure out the next step by yourself.

Cost and transportation can sometimes stand between a person and the help they need.

The Christian Mission may be able to provide financial assistance for eligible treatment-related expenses, mental health services, and transportation to care.

Financial assistance is limited to eligible residents of the Town of Mooresville. Our team can talk with you about your situation, determine what assistance may be available, and connect you with other resources when appropriate.

The Christian Mission’s Substance Misuse Support Program is led by a Certified Peer Support Specialist who brings professional training and lived experience to supporting individuals and families affected by substance use.

Peer support isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about walking alongside you as you identify your goals, consider your options, connect with resources, solve problems, and make decisions about your own recovery and wellness.

Our approach is centered on:

• Respect — Your voice, experiences, and preferences matter.
• Hope — Recovery and positive change are possible.
• Choice — Your goals help guide the process.
• Connection — We’ll help connect you with people, services, and resources that can support your next steps.
• Whole-person support — Recovery may involve treatment, mental health, transportation, relationships, employment, housing, and other areas of life.

Supporting people in recovery is one part of creating a healthier community. Prevention, education, awareness, and strong community partnerships matter, too.

The Christian Mission works with local organizations, schools, service providers, faith communities, and other community partners to connect people with substance use prevention, education, treatment, and recovery resources.

Educational opportunities may include topics such as:

• Substance use prevention and education
• Recovery support
• Naloxone (Narcan®) education and training
• Vaping prevention
• Stigma reduction
• Overdose prevention and harm-reduction education
• Community awareness

We may also host eligible trainings and educational events at The Christian Mission and help community partners connect their programs and resources with people who can benefit from them.
