We offer donation-based and open-to-the public events to help increase awareness about peer support, create dialogue around alternatives to recovery and healing, and build a sense of connected community.
We currently run an event series focused around themes of recovery, ancestral healing, and harm reduction, and have occasional online webinars and trainings in peer support.
