Peer Supporters

CurePSP Peer Supporters are volunteers who are available to offer support by phone or e-mail. There may not be a supporter in your immediate area, but we encourage you to call any one of the contacts on this list. As you may know, your best resource is probably the person who is currently going through or went through what you are experiencing.

We are continually seeking motivated individuals to become Peer Supporters in their local area. If you are interested in becoming a supporter, please contact Trish Caruana, VP of Programs & Education, at 800-457-4777 or via e-mail at caruana@curepsp.org.
