REES has three new programs to support people living with mental illness and addictions. The Peer Linking Program, the COOL Outreach Program and the Mentoring Project provide a variety of short and long term supports, depending on need. Peer Community Links ProgramThe Peer Community Links (PCL) Program provides goal-focussed, time-limited individual support to help people with serious mental illness and/or addictions access community resources. The goal of the program is to enhance individual ability to meet basic support needs, to live more independently and to participate more actively in the community. Peer workers will provide support with personal life, recreation, leisure, education and work activities through: working to identify and meet goals; 1:1 support with community integration; modeling, coaching and teaching social and life skills; helping to build confidence, reduce anxiety, and identify self-help strategies; making connections to community resources; and helping to identity and use community and natural supports. COOL (Community Outreach, Options and Links) ProgramThe COOL Program is a new outreach program for people with mental health, addictions, and/or concurrent disorders. Three COOL Outreach Workers are available to provide a range of intensive supports, wherever they are needed in the community, at any point in an individual's recovery process. Supports may include planning, crisis management, case management, problem-solving, advocacy, teaching skills, and information and help with access to community resources. The Mentoring Project
