Happy Global Peer Day💚🌎

Today, we celebrate the power of peer connection- the friendships, understanding, and hope that grow when people with shared experiences support one another.

At Compeer, our affiliates around the world embody this every day - matching volunteers, peers, and friends who remind us that no one has to face mental health challenges alone.

🌟 Peer Support Changes Lives 🌟

Research shows peer support reduces hospitalizations, improves quality of life, and lowers mental health care costs. (mhanational.org) 💙

Together, we prove: relationships are powerful medicine. ✨

🌟 CPR Training with Compeer Livingston County 🌟

Clients and volunteers had such a wonderful experience learning CPR together tast week! 💚Not only did everyone practice life-saving skills, but they also shared encouragement, laughter, and teamwork along the way.

At Compeer, we believe in building confidence, connection, and community—and trainings like this help us strengthen all three.

Beautiful work Livingston County!!!

This year marked our first-ever presenting sponsor(thank you Queen City Financial Group), featured real, local stories of lived experience, and brought plenty of fun and excitement on and off the course—including an impromptu live auction!

Some things are out of our hands but so much is within our control. 🌟

At Compeer, we remind each other that while we can’t control how others act or what they think, we CAN control how we respond, the choices we make, and the care we give ourselves. 💙💚

Take a moment today to focus on what’s in your control and let go of the rest. ✨

Because when we care for ourselves, we’re better able to connect with others.

✨ Taking a mental health day is okay
✨ Your feelings are valid
✨ Check on the people you love
✨ Be authentically yourself

Let’s continue building a community that values connection, compassion, and care. 💚💙
