Be The Lifeline

The most powerful voice in recovery is someone who has been there. 

Danita’s story shows the true power of peer support. Once a client at BCRI during a difficult moment in her life, she now serves as a Peer Specialist—using her lived experience to help others navigate crisis and recovery in Baltimore City. In this video, Danita shares how peer support creates connection, hope, and understanding when people need it most.

Her journey is a reminder that recovery is possible, and that those who have walked the path can become lifelines for others.

Through BCRI’s “Be the Lifeline” campaign, we are working to raise $50,000 by June 30, 2026 to support the salaries and operational costs of Peer Specialists across our programs. Your support helps ensure that people in crisis are met not only with care, but with someone who truly understands.
