Empathy Through Understanding
Not everyone has lived through addiction or mental health challenges, but we all have moments of crisis, pain or struggle. While these experiences may not match the depths of others, they can still offer insight into the overwhelming feelings that many face daily. Tapping into your own experiences can help build a sense of empathy and understanding. For those with lived experience, this connection becomes the foundation of peer support—a unique form of care that fosters healing through shared stories and mutual respect.
