​LIVING IT FORWARD

"Living it Forward" is a film about how recovery is paid forward in the act of Peer Supporting.  Peer Supporters listen to and help others and they also model their good health so that people can hopefully be inspired by it and possibly emulate it in their own way.  Peer Support is not telling someone how to live their life, but it is rather a way to show a person how their life is worth living, however they see fit.
