Life Quest Society is a non-profit and social enterprise offering peer support education and services to organizations and communities, rooted in lived experience, recovery, and empowerment. By contracting trained Peer Support Workers we aim to bridge gaps in mental health, substance use, and recovery services while fostering leadership, accountability, and wellness within communities themselves.
Life Quest Society supports individuals in recovery by offering accessible Peer Support Worker training, mentorship, and leadership development. We equip people with lived and living experience to provide trauma-informed, strengths-based support in their communities. Through a collaborative peer network and social enterprise model, we foster sustainable opportunities for growth, advocacy, and meaningful contribution.
We honour the knowledge gained through personal recovery and believe it is essential to guiding others with empathy and insight.
We recognize every person’s inherent worth, voice, and right to self-determination.
We commit to creating spaces that welcome and support diverse identities, experiences, and cultural backgrounds.
We understand the widespread impact of trauma and foster safety, choice, and collaboration in everything we do.
We believe healing and change are most powerful when done together, through mutual support and shared leadership.
We embrace recovery as a unique, nonlinear journey, and we support others in building hope, purpose, and connection.
We are committed to personal and professional development, ethical practice, and continuous learning—for ourselves and our peers.
