What We Do
Peer-based mental wellness empowerment.
People who have lived the same experiences have a special capacity to provide services for people with mental health challenges, because our shared experience provides us with an understanding that is hard to duplicate in other relationships. This kind of help is based on a simple idea: People who have problems and who use services and resources to solve those problems become experts.
In peer support, we are equals. You are the expert on you, and we work to support you in your recovery journey.
