Are you a teen or young adult in Connecticut looking for support from a peer? Quinn, is available to meet virtually and in person to talk about what you’re going through. To learn more about them and the work they do, click here and read their bio!
Rather than asking what’s wrong or focusing on helping, peer support is about growing and learning together through conversation. Peer support specialists draw from their own experiences to connect with and support folks in moving towards their self-defined goals. Every meeting is unique, and participants get to choose what they’d like to talk about. Quinn is able to offer resources and connection to different communities around Connecticut.
“I am a freshman in college, and I have been meeting with Quinn as a participant for the past two and a half years, since I was 17. Throughout this time, Quinn has been there to talk with me about whatever has been going on in my life, and they have supported me through the ups and downs I have experienced. Overall, having Quinn as a mentor and a supporter has been an awesome experience, as they have been there to talk with me and have offered insight and guidance when I needed it. I think every teenager/young adult should be able to have someone like that!”

CTSupportGroup.org was developed by young people in Connecticut who are in recovery from mental health and substance use issues. We know what it’s like to feel alone, stressed, worried, sad, and angry. We’ve lived through the ups and downs of self-harm, drugs and alcohol, and the struggle to find help.
