About Courtney Hays

Biography

I understand that life can be incredibly challenging, and it’s okay to seek support. My journey has been filled with challenges, including being adopted, facing bullying, and dealing with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), alopecia, and infertility. These experiences have tested me but have also shaped who I am today, instilling in me a deep sense of empathy and a desire to support others. Completing a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) program provided me with the tools to manage my emotions and find hope. Now, I focus on providing peer support in areas like emotional regulation, self-confidence, and life transitions. I’m particularly passionate about creating unique programs that incorporate an Alice in Wonderland theme, helping people reflect on their journeys and personal growth. My goal is to be the kind of support I needed when I was struggling—to offer hope, guidance, empathy and understanding. I’d like to provide a safe and understanding space for you where you can explore your feelings and experiences without judgment. You don’t have to face your challenges alone; I’m here to walk alongside you.

My Recovery Story

My recovery journey has been a transformative process, guided by the support of therapy, medication, and the right tools to manage my emotions. Through this, I’ve learned how to navigate life’s challenges with more resilience and self-compassion. The support I received was invaluable, showing me that healing is possible even when it feels out of reach. Now, I’m in a place where I can offer that same hope and understanding to others, helping them find their path to a better quality of life.

My Motivation To Help

What motivates me to be a Peer Supporter is the understanding that I’ve been in dark places where hope felt out of reach. After facing my own struggles with suicidal thoughts, I found support that helped me reclaim my life, and now I want to offer that same support to others. I know how powerful it can be to have someone who truly listens, understands, and believes in your ability to heal. My goal is to be that compassionate guide for those who feel lost, offering hope and tools to move forward.
