Kaija H, Certified Peer Support says this about becoming a Peer Support Services along with why/how peer support services are so impactful:

Why did I become a peer support specialist?
🌼Because I know what it feels like to walk through darkness and wonder if you’ll ever find your way out. I became a peer support specialist to be the person I needed when I was struggling—someone real, someone safe, someone who understands. I’m here to walk alongside others, not in front of them. My lived experience allows me to offer support with compassion, connection, and zero judgment.

What do I love about being a peer support?
🌼That I don’t have to pretend.
🌼That I can walk in with my scars visible and say, “You don’t have to be fixed to be worthy.”
🌼That I get to witness people slowly start to believe they’re not too much, not too broken, not too late.
🌼That I don’t save people—I remind them they can save themselves.

Why is peer support different than other services?
🌼Because I get it.
🌼Because I don’t talk down—I sit beside.
🌼Because I don’t throw out buzzwords—I speak from lived experience.
🌼Because I don’t ask people to trust me blindly—I earn it through truth, presence, and showing up like their life matters. Because it does.

Why is KWC a great place for support?
🌼Because we hold space for the messy, the beautiful, the in-progress.
🌼Because here, you’re not a diagnosis or a case number—you’re a human being.
🌼Because healing happens here—not through perfection, but through connection.

Janet A. Miller, Certified Peer Support & Certified Family Peer Support shares more about why she chose to become a PSS and what she believes can be helpful to others!

Why did you become a peer support?
❇️To give back what was given to me: peace, self-confidence, empathy and compassion.

Why is KWC a great place to go for support?
❇️Using the services at KWC/NCC changed my outlook. It really helped me to grow and change in ways that helped me succeed in ways I could have never dreamed of.

What do you enjoy about being a peer support?
❇️Being able to meet with people on an equal level and watch people power through change and growth.

Why is peer support different than other services?
❇️Peer supports can really relate and empathize with people. Peer supports are able to meet each person where they are at. We have been there too and we know that sometimes when darkness falls, you can still look up and admire the stars. 💫

Our Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT) is now accepting clients in our Aitkin office!

Call 218-670-0005 or 218-326-1274!

Equine-assisted therapy (EAT) is a type of therapy that uses horses to promote physical and mental well-being. It involves activities with horses, such as grooming, feeding, and leading, under the supervision of a licensed mental health professional and an equine specialist. EAT can be used to treat various conditions, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Benefits of Equine-Assisted Therapy:
🐴Improved Mental Health: EAT can help reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

🐴Increased Self-Awareness: The unique feedback from horses can help individuals gain insights into their own behavior and emotions.

🐴Enhanced Communication: EAT can improve communication skills and build stronger relationships.

🐴Boosted Self-Confidence: Interacting with a large animal like a horse can build self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment.

🐴Emotional Regulation: EAT can help individuals learn to manage their emotions and reactions.

EAT does NOT require experience with horses and there is NO riding. It does require you to be able to be safe around horses.
