About Us

PEER Wellness Center is a Recovery Community Center that has been supporting recovery in Boise and the surrounding communities since 2015.  The peer-based (non-clinical) programs and services offered support others who live with substance use and/or mental health disorders, the friends and family who love us and to the community at large.  In gratitude for our own recovery and fueled by a passion for helping others find their own recovery, we strive to make our  community center a place where

isolation becomes inclusion,
problems find solutions, and
strangers become friends.

We "remove barriers to recovery" by:  

  • providing free and confidential support

  • being a safe place to heal and connect

  • bridging the gaps between services/system navigation

  • providing connection to community resources

  • distributing overdose prevention supplies​

We support recovery by:

  • acknowledging all pathways/"No Wrong Door" to recovery

  • encouraging & empowering each other (peer support)

  • providing volunteer & community service opportunities

  • offering a variety of peer-led support groups

  • meeting people where they are at (figuratively and literally)

  • hosting recovery-friendly social activities/events

  • supporting our friends & family members​

We advocate for our recovery community by: 

  • "recovering out loud" (so others do not die quietly)​

  • celebrating recovery with community events

  • promoting "person-first" language

  • reducing stigma through community education

  • participating in collaborative community committees and groups
