From Support to Solidarity

Since 1997, we’ve offered community-based care services and support rooted in lived experience. We honor each person as the expert of their own life and, through radically new perspectives, create spaces for all to explore their unique vision of wellness.

Mission

To promote individual and community healing by providing services that offer radically new perspectives, respect individual choice, and center the voice of lived experience.

Vision

We envision communities where healing is defined by those with lived experience, where mental health and substance use services are voluntary, inclusive, culturally responsive, and grounded in choice, dignity, and compassion. Through peer-led care, harm reduction, and advocacy for human rights and social justice, we work toward a future where individuals and communities can shape their own paths to wholeness and well-being.

Core Values

• Lived Experience : We believe those who’ve been there should lead the way.
• Autonomy : We honor self-determination. Services are voluntary, personalized, and guided by each person's goals and voice.
• Wellness : We provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed support for mind, body, and spirit.
• Community : We create spaces for belonging, mutual support, and shared growth. We grow and heal through relationships and belonging.
• Justice : We challenge injustice. We confront systemic barriers and encourage equity in mental health services and beyond.
