Kanawha Institute for Social Research and Action, Inc.

Compeer programs provide one-to-one volunteer supportive friendships and mentoring relationships to adults and youth in mental health recovery. Compeer community-based programs and services achieve positive outcomes such as reduced social isolation and greater community integration for individuals on their recovery journey.

The vision of Compeer is to serve as a complement to mental-health treatment through social integration for every person who is diagnosed with a mental illness or an emotional challenge that wants and needs help, in every community around the world.
