My name is Jason Harris. I am 41 years old. I currently work as a peer support worker and peer tutor. I really enjoy the work that i do, aswell as meeting new people. Having been in a similar situation and knowing how hard it can be to talk or reach out to others, it's nice to be able to offer a glimmer of hope and encouragement.

In Recovery College, we look at an acronym called C.H.I.M.E, which stands for Connections, Hope, Identity, Meaning and Empowerment. This certainly gives me meaning and a purpose, and I enjoy supporting and
