• A. Not sure
• B. Sometimes
• C. TRUE
• D. FALSE

Answer: (D)

Peer Support is about helping a person shape their own recovery, build skills, and connect with resources as needed, using lived experience to foster hope, choice, and independence. It is not about guaranteeing that someone will keep receiving services from the same agency (or any agency) for the rest of their life. Service plans can change as goals, needs, funding, and available supports evolve. The peer worker’s role is to support planning, advocacy, and access to resources, rather than promise lifelong, unchanging services.
