Intentional Peer Support

As of 2025 MHA has certified over 200 incarcerated individuals in Intentional Peer Support. 

The strongest resource within Nebraska Department of Correctional Services is people with lived experience. MHA's Certified Peer Support Specialists utilize their pasts, their strengths, and their time, to build supportive relationships with their peers.  Throughout the years, they have been able to explore what healing and wellness looks like to them while also shifting the culture and creating more connected communities inside.
