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.
- Peer Training Academy: Use your lived experience to make a difference. Our Peer Training Academy helps you turn your personal journey into professional peer support work — and get paid doing it.
