"I've been there."

For Charla, peer support is more than a job. It's a way to walk alongside others using the power of lived experience.

As a Peer Advocate at the STANS Wellness & Recovery Center, Charla supports individuals on their recovery journey by offering understanding, encouragement, and hope from someone who truly understands the challenges they may be facing.

Recovery looks different for everyone, but no one should have to navigate it alone.

Watch Charla share her story and why helping others find hope, healing, and connection means so much to her. 💚
