Supporting NJ’s Peer Workforce
Are you a NJ Peer Recovery Specialist currently working to support others to find their path to recovery and find that you are lacking the time for self-care?
Working in the helping profession can be very rewarding, but can also be emotionally draining. As a consequence, many individuals these days are feeling overwhelmed and stressed—you are not alone. It is important to be gentle with yourself and others, and to take steps to support both your own and your family’s emotional well-being.
