10th Anniversary
Utah Peer Conference
June 22-23, 2026
ABOUT
"Peer support is a part of the human experience. Being able to share experiences, help heal, guide, and warn one another is what bonds us as families, friends, and communities. There is a long history of peer support that we need to strengthen and cement here at this conference and throughout the coming year. Peers have continued to exercise their voice in their own treatment and recovery process. Today, peers are an essential partner in supporting recovery through mutual support, education, and advocacy across the nation, in the fields of mental health and substance use disorders."

Presenters (2025)
We are honored to introduce an extraordinary group of presenters who bring a powerful combination of lived experience, deep knowledge, and unwavering dedication to supporting others on their recovery journeys. These individuals are peer support specialists—people who have walked the path of mental health and/or substance use recovery and now use their experiences to inspire hope, share resources, and foster meaningful connection.
Stay tuned for our next round of presenters for the Utah Peer Conference of 2026!
