Peers bring more of us out of basements than anybody else. It's peers who get us to understand that we can go somewhere and seek help. The service offered here, if it connects people to another peer or makes them aware of other peer services, could become a potential referral that eventually leads to a referral to seek professional help.
I'm not scientific, but the best case I know of with people I have commended and people I have worked with is peer referral.
