A genuine, internal belief.

P2P was created to authentically engage with members of our community, welcoming its diversity and being mindful of our opportunity to reduce disparities, to disassemble racial inequity, and recognize the experiences of so many living with trauma.

We don’t believe that us versus them applies to healing. We want to understand where we can contribute starting with an individual and ultimately unifying many individuals in our community.

Become a Coach

A P2P recovery coach assists our clients with the day-to-day challenges of recovery by facilitating relationships and serving as a link between the agency, clinical providers, natural supports, other service providers, and the community.

Our coaches meet with a recoveree and support an individual’s desire to focus on specific goals. The recovery plan is recoveree-centered and supports a path to recovery.

P2P is currently looking for part-time and full-time peer recovery coaches to partner with P2P in the Denver Metro area. Complete our questionnaire by clicking here.
