Pierce County Peer Bridger (261)
Peer Support Services
At Telecare’s Pierce County Peer Bridger program, we believe that people who have lived experience with serious mental illness can serve as a powerful resource for modeling and facilitating recovery. Peer support staff can share insights into the experience of stigma, are living examples of consumer empowerment, and have a unique ability to support residents to feel less alone.

About the Program: At Telecare’s Pierce County Peer Bridger program, we are here to help you get connected with the services needed to continue your journey toward recovery.
We believe recovery is possible, and we will do whatever it takes to support you reaching your hopes and dreams. Our services start while you are at Western State Hospital and follow you in the community for up to 120 days. Our team of two Peer Bridger staff are here to be your support, advocate, and ally.
Our services emphasize choice-making skills and harm-reduction techniques. We provide a safe, respectful environment where you can receive immediate assistance and a compassionate presence to stabilize symptoms, avoid the need for higher levels of care, and connect you to community-based resources.
