This spoken word session was important to me. I was able to express my thoughts and emotions and also listen to creative expressions of others. I learned through my own writing about coping skills i can use and also from listening to others. I was very inspired by what others shared and appreciated greatly the safe space that the facilitator created for us in the group. I will attend again

Project Return Peer Support Network
PRPSN offers peer-to-peer support to help individuals reach their personal goals, such as living independently, going to school, getting a job, having friends and enjoying life in the community, and advancing in their recovery. Each group is individualized and self-directed. Activities and curricula are created by the facilitators and group participants. While some groups direct conversations on specific recovery-based discussions, others focus on physical wellness and its connection to mental wellness, building socialization skills, and the exploration of varying coping methods ranging from arts and music to writing and much, much more!
