We are setting up community forums each day so people with mental health and/or substance use challenges who are missing their regular meetings and groups can check in with like-minded, recovery-oriented individuals. We will have Certified Peer Counselors, Recovery Coaches, Mental Health Professionals and Nurses available M-F from 5-10 PM and on week-ends 8 AM-8 PM. We Are Peer For You! Community Connections.
