R Place Peer Recovery Center is a stigma free community center for adults experiencing mental illness, including substance use disorder. We offer a fun, uplifting wellness center staffed by Peer Support Specialists (PSS's). We use the term "Peer" to refer to any adult 18+ who has a mental health concern. Our Peer Support Specialists are persons with lived experience of mental illness(es) and Recovery from that/those illness(es). We are all on the same level at R Place, because we are all Peers. We define Recovery as regaining one's life back from mental illness(es) including addiction, and successfully managing symptoms - rather than having our lives be all about our illness(es) or having the illness(es) run our lives.
Drop in center for adults with mental illness that offers support, empowerment, socialization, and peer networking.
