All staff are certified peer specialists or peer mentors, meaning that they have lived experience with mental health and/or substance use and are specially trained to help instill hope in others by using their own lived experience.
The most important aspects are it’s ability to help instill hope in people living in recovery and help them find their path through the recovery process. Recovery happens, and everyone who comes here is a testament to that.
