Services Available in Livingston & Ontario Counties

• Individualized Peer Services: Meet one-on-one with a trained peer to set personal goals, explore resources in your community, and connect with treatment providers.
• Skill Building Groups: Join hands-on sessions focused on building life skills like budgeting, self-care, and self-defense. Topics are often based on participant interest and real-life needs.
• Mutual Support Groups: Find community with others who have shared experiences. These groups offer a space to talk through challenges and learn new ways of coping and thriving.
• Creative Wellness: Use the power of artistic expression to support your healing. Activities may include painting, crafts, music, and more – all designed to foster a sense of wholeness and self-discovery.
