Peer Support Services

This contract seeks providers to deliver peer-led mentorship and emotional support services to individuals who have transitioned out of polygamous communities, leveraging lived experience to foster meaningful connection and healing. The services are designed to offer guidance, validation, and practical support tailored to the unique psychological and social challenges faced by those exiting such environments, with an emphasis on building trust through shared background and empathy. The work will primarily involve one-on-one or small group interactions that prioritize safety, confidentiality, and cultural competence. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 624190, which classifies it under other social assistance activities, and is posted by the state of Utah with a response deadline of June 2, 2026. While specific location details are not provided, performance is expected to occur within Utah’s jurisdiction. Interested entities must demonstrate expertise in trauma-informed peer support, experience working with survivors of authoritarian or insular religious groups, and the ability to deliver consistent, high-quality outreach. The posting does not indicate a set-aside designation or funding amount, so proposers should prepare detailed plans outlining staffing, methodology, evaluation metrics, and sustainability of services.
