There is growing evidence of the positive impact peer support can have on young people accessing services. Within collaborations, this relationship can optimize outcomes for both stakeholders: the young person and the agencies. The question of young adult inclusion within wellness-oriented program design is multi-faceted and delicate. Peer support within collaborations relies on: 

• including and valuing the peer role at all stages and levels,
• the relationship between the peer and non-peer workers, and
• building capacity with peers and non-peers simultaneously.
