St. Anthony’s blended peer support case management program offers comprehensive services to help people build and maintain stability over time.
“Reaching full stability is oftentimes impossible without a community and the partnership of a Companion who, with lived experience, knows the way.”
– Companionship Guest
How it works
Multi-year: Coaching, support, and connection to resources, including targeted support to reduce triggers and setbacks
Grounded in Lived Experience: Our full-time Companions have lived experience in substance use disorder, mental illness, and/or being unhoused, and found success at St. Anthony’s
Comprehensive: Assistance with all ten elements of stability, including employment, housing, and medical care
Individualized: Our guests design and achieve goals that are unique to their personal needs, and we support their plan
“things get better when people believe in you.”
– Rahim“It’s not just about getting a job or a place to live. It’s about addressing the whole person—mentally, physically, and spiritually.”
– Wayne, Companion

We could not offer these life-changing services without our amazing donors and partners.
It’s the motivation you need to not feel like you have to do this alone or to get frustrated with the difficulties that come with recovery.
