Derek Moore, Peer Services Manager at Thriving Mind South Florida, proudly represented his organization at the Peer Power—Rise and Restore 2025 conference held in St. Petersburg, Florida. This one-of-a-kind event is dedicated exclusively to peer professionals, offering a dynamic space to connect with peers across the state, explore new tools for professional development, and embrace self-care and renewal.

Derek was honored to be pictured alongside distinguished leaders in the recovery community, including Senator Darryl Rouson (Florida Senate District 16) who was the keynote speaker, Robert Cooper, CEO of Zero Hour Life Center RCO and sponsor of the conference, and Joe Dmitrovic, Education and Outreach Director for Floridians for Recovery. Their presence underscored the importance of peer-led initiatives and the growing recognition of lived experience as a cornerstone of behavioral health support.

The conference served as a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and unity within Florida’s peer workforce.

Peer support workers are people who have been successful in the recovery process who help others experiencing similar situations, according to SAMHSA. Through shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment, peer support workers help people become and stay engaged in the recovery process and reduce the likelihood of relapse. Peer support services can effectively extend the reach of treatment beyond the clinical setting into the everyday environment of those seeking a successful, sustained recovery process.
