WHERE COMMUNITIES CONNECT

The Neighborhood is a place where people with a common purpose join together to
become a dynamic community. Peer Support Community Partners helps members use
the tools and practices in the Neighborhood to strengthen the leadership and
collective wisdom that are intrinsic to your community. Whether your group has
20 members or 200, the principles of peer support that guide Neighborhood
activities will help empower you to achieve your community’s self-determined
goals. The basic tools available in the Neighborhood are familiar online methods
that help people come together, communicate, make decisions, and take action. In
general, they are the same tools as are used in places such as Facebook, but
with three vital differences: The communities in the Neighborhood are private
spaces, the leadership comes from the community as a whole, and the data is
protected from commercial uses. Currently, there are two groups of people in the
Neighborhood building their own communities. One is frontline care providers who
help people with substance-use issues. The other is people who are bereaved by a
death from substance use. ● Frontline care providers are those who deliver
ongoing, close-up, essential services to people who are or have been at high
risk of dying from substance use. ● The bereaved are people who are grieving the
loss of someone they care about whose death was caused by alcohol or other drugs
(whether from accidental overdose or some other kind of accident, suicide,
homicide, or medical complications). Frontline care providers may be paid
workers or volunteers or retired. They may be joining the Neighborhood as
individuals, as fellow employees, or as people who work in the same geographical
region or for a particular cause. The bereaved include people who are seeking
help after someone close to them died and those who have experienced healing on
their journey and now would like to help others (again, whether as volunteers or
as service providers). The two groups have their own community spaces in the
Neighborhood that operate independently of each other. As they maintain their
private, autonomous channels of communication in their separate communities,
members can also interact in spaces where they share common ground. Within each
community, the broad purpose is the same: for frontline care providers to help
each other and for bereaved people to help each other. The focus of that mutual
helpfulness — the what, why, when, where, and how of it — is self-determined by
the activities of the community members in collaboration with Peer Support
Community Partners. Our role is to provide the communities with the support and
assistance they need to accomplish their goals. Peer Support Community Partners
is presently funded to provide this community space for free to frontline care
providers and people bereaved by a death from substance use in Massachusetts. We
manage the Neighborhood and give members access to community-building tools they
can use to develop and implement activities to care for each other in ways that
focus on community members’ needs and priorities — and that work for them. The
expertise Peer Support Community Partners brings to the communities is, as our
name suggests, centered around the principles and practices of peer support and
community-building through collaboration. We are here to help you create and
participate fully in a space where you feel empowered to accomplish what is most
important to you. Welcome to your Neighborhood.
