A 6-Month, Peer-Informed Recovery Planner
Your pace. Your words. Your journey.
The Peer Planner™ is a peer-informed planner that gives your days structure, your weeks a rhythm, and your next six months a direction you choose. One method, four editions: General, Outpatient, Forensics, and Youth. Built from lived experience.
What it is
Six months, three phases, one planner that belongs to you
Each phase asks a little less of the planner and a little more of you. You start with the most structure and finish with a plan in your own words.
Months 1–2 · Weeks 1–8
Grounding
Finding your footing
Structure and awareness. A full 24-hour daily view helps you see how your time is spent and notice what affects you.
Months 3–4 · Weeks 9–17
Building
Growing your skills
Practice and adjustment. Try new ways to cope, communicate, set boundaries, and solve problems, then change what doesn't fit.
Months 5–6 · Weeks 18–26
Sustaining
Shifting from managing to living
Ownership and continuation. Decide what to keep, how you'll adapt when life changes, and what you're building toward.
Why it matters
Recovery happens between appointments
Most of life happens in the hours no program can fill. The Peer Planner gives those hours a shape, keeps a record of what's working, and puts the person in charge of their own story.
The planner is yours. You decide what to write and what to share.
"What do you want to work on?" can feel overwhelming.
Seven focus areas give you a place to begin each day.
The latest crisis tends to crowd out longer-term growth.
Weekly goals and patterns keep both in view.
Naming your own goals can be hard.
Weekly goal work turns broad hopes into steps that feel real.
Progress is hard to see from inside it.
Six months of entries show what changed in your routines, coping, and relationships.
The editions
