The Client (Peer) ValorNet
The client (peer) ValorNet is comprised of individuals healing from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) or Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (DDNOS). We surround our peer members, their family/support peers and therapists with all of our other networks as a comprehensive support foundation.
What Services Are Offered?
The client (peer) and therapist together determine the services that best meet peer needs and interests. Peers may choose to participate in any one or all of our service offerings. It's completely up to the peer and their therapist which services may have the most meaning. Our goal is to support peers at all levels of interest and at every stage of the recovery process. There are no membership fees to join our organization.
