Mandate:

As the only provincial organization in Newfoundland & Labrador created by and for individuals living with mental health and addictions issues, we exist to support and encourage individual recovery through self-determination, while working to break the stigma surrounding these issues in society. We don’t just offer peer support, we create safe, inclusive spaces where people feel heard, understood, and supported.

At the heart of our work is peer support, a non-clinical, mutual relationship grounded in shared experience. Our trained Peer Supporters walk alongside others on their recovery journeys, offering empathy, connection, and understanding.
