Mission & Vision
We offer hope, support and advocacy for those seeking recovery so that we can build resilience and thrive in our lives and communities.
We envision a world where we have an abundance of recovery options and are supported in our right to decide our recovery pathway.
Our Values
Authenticity: We are real people with similar experiences who genuinely want you to succeed and achieve your goals, whatever they may be.
Peer Run: All of our programs and services are designed, led and operated by peers based on our shared experiences with what works and what doesn’t.
Hope: We believe that anyone can recover. Our past does not define us. Our dreams and goals are possible.
Dignity: All people have dignity and deserve to be treated with kindness and honesty.
Open Minded: We are open to the many cultures, orientations, preferences, worldviews and recovery paths of others.
Support: We walk alongside our participants and will provide you support, resources and encouragement along your journey.
Mutuality: We are not experts. There is no hierarchy in our relationships with our participants. We grow in our recoveries alongside you as we build trust and challenge one another to recognize opportunities and try new behaviors.
Courage: We know change takes courage. We find courage in being vulnerable, trying new things, giving ourselves and others grace, getting help when we need it and always moving forward.
Advocacy: We are passionate about ensuring that all individuals have opportunities to engage in recovery support services that meet their needs. We advocate for our participants and champion this vision every day.
Confidentiality: People have the right to keep their information private. We do not share or disclose your information without your consent.
