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!

Basic Rules for Peer Support Groups

  • Observers/Note Takers are not permitted in PRPSN’s groups.
  • All participants must be 18 years of age or older.
  • To foster safety and comfort for all, we do not discuss religion, politics, or race. Please be mindful of images and profiles displayed. We do respect all faiths, cultures, and spiritual beliefs.
  • Please do not talk about medications.
  • Confidentiality: what is said here, stays here.
  • Please respect each other and mute yourself when not speaking to limit background noise.
  • Be aware of other people who still need to share and hold feedback until all members have checked in. Limit check-ins to 2-3 minutes.
  • This is a safe space for everyone to share their thoughts and feelings, so there is no judgment. 
  • Please be mindful of the words/language we use. Don't point profanities at others.
  • We have great passion because of our knowledge and life experiences. FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL PRESENT, please be careful to share from your OWN experience, strength and hope and refrain from giving advice.
  • When sharing, use first-person statements such as "This is what works for me" or "This is what I've done."
