Specifically, the Peer provides transportation to and from appointments; meets with clients individually to provide support and encouragement; makes phone calls to patients; and serves as a support to the other staff.

The Peer is also responsible for ensuring that the department's vehicles are taken for regular maintenance, inspection, etc.
